title: Differences in procedural and object-oriented implementations of mysql in php?
body: <p>Is there a significant difference in using an object oriented approach over a procedural approach when implementing mysql in php?  On the php website about <code>mysqli_query</code>, (<a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php</a>), it provides an example of both, and I just want to know if there is any significant performance difference, or just know when to use each of them.</p>
