Also, the second sentence sounds strange:
Additionally to a functional interface this new extension also includes
an object-oriented interface and support for many of MySQL's new
features such as prepared statements.

Perhaps:
This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to
its functional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new
features, such as prepared statements.

I don't like the term 'functional' there, as it's misleading...
Languages like lisp, haskell, ... are commonly referred to as functional
languages, where languages like C (and non-OO PHP) are referred to as
imperative or procedural. I think that should be rephrased... maybe
titled as 'traditional interface' or alike.
