http://tournasdimitrios1.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/a-simple-php-mysql-class/#more-6911
Note : This Class implements the old Mysql extension , use it only for learning PHP's OOP-concepts . A more robust (Mysqli )extension is available for production database transactions .
According to php.net
" If you are using MySQL versions 4.1.3 or later it is strongly recommended that you use this extension (Mysqli). "
