mysqli doesn't work with apache, but works from PHP console

Question

This PHP script:

<?php
    ini_set("display_errors", 1);
    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    $foo = new mysqli();
    var_dump($foo);
?>

gives this error message:

Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /home/xubuntu/Documents/www/quote_register/foo.php on line 5".

However, running this from the PHP console:

xubuntu@xubuntu:~/Documents/www/quote_register$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > $foo = new mysqli();
php > var_dump($foo);

dumps a mysqli-object as expected.

Honestly, I'm quite stumped by this... Anyone got any idea what's going on?

Command-line PHP uses a different settings file. You need to install/enable Mysqli for the web interpreter as well. — Álvaro González, Jan 21 '14 at 11:08

did you run the same php versions?

maybe a solution could be to check if cli and apache version have the same

to do this, just try phpinfo() on both and compare
