Seriously, I read this post and went and rewrote my code to use MySQLi instead. It took me a couple minutes. So what is the big deal? A couple minutes to improve my MySQL speed? Seems like a fair trade... I suppose I could understand those who use the actual functions throughout their page, I created a Database object that handles it all from one PHP file.
Those of you saying, "Oh, now I have to recode everything!" Quit being stupid, no you don't. A lot of it involved just adding an 'i' to the end of 'mysql' and moving and/or adding the database ID in the function. That's all I had to do. It was extremely simple and required absolutely no effort.
