You need to modify the config/Database.php and select the 'dbdriver' => 'mysqli' and make the relevant connection change like hostname, username, database, etc

I am relatively new to php and I need to connect to a database using php, as i understand there are several methods of connecting to a database, what is the most current method of doing this?
If you are going to use built-in PHP methods, I would advise using PHP PDO. You can find more information on PDO here. You can also use a separate package to manage connections for you such as Doctrine, though this can get a little more complex in the setup. If you are just getting started in PHP, it may be easier to start off with PDO. I hope this helps!

I want to know that why use Mongodb over MySql. Anyone who have experience in Mongodb or on MySQl please suggest me.
You need to decide if you need the "transactional" capabilities or SQL or the document (or object orient) data store functionality of MongoDB. It is really a very lengthy and subjective discussion, not really best suited for here.

Can u tell me, can i use database from this server www.serversfree.com for my own website?
I googled but couldn't find anything ..
Thanks all
Yes, if you are allowing in your database to access from outside. If you are behind firewall, you need to set up portforward. But i do not recommend this.
Instead to directly access your database from outside your server, let's write an API, use API key and security tokens to perform actions on your DB.

I'm currently using mysql_query() to approach DB.
I understand that this method will be removed in the future so I want to learn a new api.
What in your opinion is the best way and why? PDO or mysqli? or there is another one I haven't heard about?
Thank you.
I'm going to offer what I consider to be the best way to handle database stuff: Build your own class. In my case, this class just wraps mysql_* functions, however if I wanted to it would be really easy to change to a different one (such as if mysql_* gets removed). I only have to change a single file, and instantly the entire project is using a new API.
Believe me, do this right at the start and you will save yourself a LOT of work if and when you decide to change things around!
