I have installed PHP 7 and MySQL 5.5.47 on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
I have checked installed extension using:
sudo apt-cache search php7-*
It outputs:

I am not able to see the MySQLi extension using phpinfo() either. How can I enable/install MySQLi extension in PHP 7?
That's why I cannot use phpMyAdmin. It says "The mysqli extension is missing."
PHP 7 only allows connections to a MySQL database using mysqli or PDO_MySQL.
PHP 7.4 now supports MySQL with caching_sha2_password, although it is a bit unclear around older versions, there seems to be conflicting reports.
Open your php. ini file ( php configuration file ) inside your PHP directory ( or windows directory ) . Search for mysqli and enable the dll by removing ; before it. You may have to re-boot your system.
Check if MySQLi is Installed The first step is to check if MySQLi extension is installed. You can do that by visiting a phpinfo() page that you made, or by running this command: php -m | grep mysqli.
Simply download the installer package, unzip it anywhere, and run setup.exe. Default installer setup.exe will walk you through the trivial process and by default will install everything under C:\mysql.
The problem is that the package that used to connect PHP to MySQL is deprecated (php5-mysql). If you install the new package,
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
this will automatically update Apache and PHP 7.
