Most PHP setups provide MySQLi, and, when provided, MySQLi should be taken advantage of due to security and speed benefits.

MySQLi also contains an OOP interface as such:
```
$database = new MySQLi('localhost');
```

It can also be extended into new database engines that implement custom functions that shorthand long, complex, or tedious tasks:
```
class MyDatabase extends MySQLi {
public static function GetAllUsers() { return this->query(); }
}
```
