    have you looked at [PDO](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1742066/112968)? also please define 'secure', your exact needs, etc. – knittl Apr 21 '11 at 16:13
  • As far as "secure". The all classes / function generally have methods to securing them. But it is up to you to understand how to use them and use them properly. Any class, no matter how secure it is, can be used and if the proper methods are not used, all the security is worthless. Better advice, pick a method and fully read about it and read how to properly secure it. – Jim Apr 21 '11 at 18:43

I would recommend PDO. Some of it's advanced functions can be handy from time to time.

If it is really small and simple just use the built in mysql function.

You can read all about it right here http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysql.php

    … and also discouraged to use in favor of mysqli – Gordon Apr 21 '11 at 16:24
  • If by "really small and simple" you mean "under 100 lines of code". Beyond that, the old `mysql-*` function group becomes cumbersome rather quickly; I'd recommend using `mysqli` (things have a tendency to grow - an old, really small and simple project of mine is now a rather important part of one not-small-and-not-simple app - and I wish I would not have coded that initial small thingy as a throwaway-simple-project it was intended to be). – Piskvor left the building Apr 21 '11 at 16:28
