MySQLi -- OO or Procedural?

Question

I know OO is the "way to go" but I'm thinking procedural might be easier to use in the wrapper I'm making.

Any difference in performance between MySQLi Object Oriented vs Procedural?

Answer 1

This is premature optimization. There's no difference, unless you're really crunching for picoseconds and femtoseconds.

Edit: which you will NOT be crunching.

Answer 2

Not really. There might be a very slight difference, but it's largely negligible. The object-oriented one is, in my opinion, much easier to use, though, even if you are making a wrapper over it anyway.
