How does mysql_connect in PHP work?

Hi,

How does the PHP function mysql_connect work? Does it use ODBC or some other proprietary protocol to connect to MySQL? I found out that it uses an extension called php_mysql, but I don't know how it works, exactly. Also, if it does not use ODBC, is it faster than ODBC?

Also, I was wondering why mysqli_connect is better than mysql_connect.

Thanks,

Richard
