MySQLi not found dockerized php

i had similar issue with
php:7-apache image, which by default will not have mysqli installed
you can verify this inside the container

$ docker exec -it <phpcontainerid> bash

inside the docker container bash terminal

# docker-php-ext-enable mysqli

if mysqli is not installed which you will come to know from the output of above command

# docker-php-ext-install mysqli

then i commited this change so the same image

$ docker commit -p <phpcontainerid> <new or same image name>

works for me:

inside php container:

docker-php-ext-install mysqli

apachectl restart

You need to enable the php extension in your Dockerfile:

FROM php:7
RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli

There is no need to touch php.ini.
