2`nd_mysqli`, right below what you marked with the red rectangle, should work. (The differences between native driver and client library can be neglected in most cases, https://stackoverflow.com/q/21534468/1427878) – CBroe Jan 29 '21 at 12:02

@CBroe, resolved by activating the `nd_mysqli` extension as you suggested. Will I have any inconvenience related to performance or security, what do you advise me to do? Extension `mysqli` on v7.4 and the `nd_mysqli` on v8.0 are the same thing? TY – Edgaras Jan 29 '21 at 12:14

No, they are not the same thing. I linked to a thread that explains the main differences. – CBroe Jan 29 '21 at 12:20

It looks like cpanel finally removed support for libmysqlclient – Dharman Jan 29 '21 at 13:25
