Mysqli and PDO combined with Javascript and Ajax... possible? - php

Question

Simple question from a noob programer. Thinking of several different styles and features to a project i have for a social website. question is this...
can you combine mysqli and PDO style programs?
having difficulty inserting data into database with php, ajax and javascript modules. it says "success" but doesnt insert the info with mysqli. i HAVE used PDO successfully. but my code looks right... it has the same syntax as the tutorial i am looking at with mysqli. this is the code...
