Best Connection Type for PHP?

I'm starting to get used to PHP but I'm still wondering, which connection type is better?: MySQLi, MySQL or PDO Can you let me know of the advantages and disadvantages and their security, thanks!

MySql is now deprecated so you should use mysqli. That's basically a improved version of mysql
