Trying to install phpmyadmin on centos - mysqli missing
I just had the exact same problem with my installation of an Ubuntu server. It turned out all I had to do was
sudo apt-get install php5-mysqli
You could try the equivalent to centOS(and your situation) and see if it works
yum install php53-mysqli
EDIT:
Scratch the previous commands, just use these two:
yum install php-mysql
and yum install php-mysqli

Here is the error I get when trying to open my phpmyadmin directory:
phpMyAdmin - Error The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
I have done the steps in the following tutorial:
http://chrisjean.com/2011/06/24/upgrade-php-5-1-or-5-2-to-5-3-on-centos/ (Only until the mcrypt section) (I wanted to upgrade php to 5.3 because phpmyadmin said I needed php 5.2+)I've tried to install mysqli and go to the php.ini (changing mysqli.default_host = localhost) but I had no luck getting rid of this error message and starting to work with phpmyadmin.
Do you know any trick that could help me?

funerr almost 12 yearsIt says "No package php53-mysqli available. Nothing to do"... (the centos edition) the ubuntu one outputs that it does not recognize the agt get method.

Constantine Loukas almost 12 yearsYeah, the ubuntu one wasn't supposed to work, it's for ubuntu after all. Try
yum install php5-mysqli

funerr almost 12 yearsI did try the centos one, and that is what it said. (no package..)

Constantine Loukas almost 12 yearsI don't have a CentOS box available right now but I believe these should work
yum install php-mysql
yum install php-mysqli
Enter both of them restart apache and you should be ready to go. -
