MySQLi is (admittedly insufficiently) faster than PDO, and supports a procedural API as well as OOP (PDO only supports OOP). PDO seems overkill for this "cms", its not really a CMS but still.Benchmarks show that MySQLi outperforms PDO by 2.5% on unprepared, and 6.5% on prepared. That and the fact that PDO claims to only support "most" statements and MySQLi supports all I just think MySQLi is a better choice.</blockquote>
