There's been no indication that the older mysql_xxx() functions are 
going to be deprecated.  To do so would break millions of websites 
around the world.  It's going to be a long time before they do that.

mysqli_xxx() extensions are arguably "better", especially if you're into 
OO techniques.  But for plain old function calls, I also find 
mysql_xxx() to work quite well.

Since you're starting out fresh, probably the mysqli_xxx() calls are 
better; better yet would be to use the OO classes.
