How do I install mysqli for php5.6

Virtualmin
1

Operating system CentOS Linux 6.9
Webmin version 1.851
Usermin version 1.720
Virtualmin version 6.00

I followed the official guide https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/web/multiplephp and I’ve installed PHP 5.6 on CentOS Linux 6.9 and as expected I can now select php5.6 for a host or folder, however, I have an issue with MySQL where the mysqli extension doesn’t seem to be available for php5.6, I tried to install php-mysqli however it’s alreay there for the original php-5.3 see:

yum install php-mysqli
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

  • rpmforge: ftp.nluug.nl
    drivesrvr | 2.9 kB 00:00
    Package php-mysql-5.3.3-49.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
    Nothing to do

How do I set-up/install for PHP 5.6 ?

Hello All, can anyone help me with this?

I only see mysqlnd packages for that version of PHP. I would think that would work.

Package name is rh-php56-php-mysqlnd

Using Virtualmin I’ve enabled PHP5.6 and tried to run a page I get a 500 error and the apache error log is showing:
