Trying to sum up the driver thing, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.php
* mysql is an old driver and old API, not recommended
* mysqli is the newer API, with the same design as mysql. Can use mysqlnd
* PDO is the unified and object oriented API. Can use mysqlnd, recommended
* mysqlnd is not an API, only a driver lib
So your programmer's choice is between mysqli and PDO. A webspace provider only
offering the mysql API should not exist anymore.
