error with mariadb 10.0.8 and mysqli extension

Question

Hi i just installed mariadb to replace mysql in my WHM/cpanel server but when im running a website using mysqli extesion i get error connecting to the db then i debug the output when compiling the php i saw this:

MySQL version '10.0.8' is neither 4 nor 5, skipping mysqli

what should i do to install mysqli with the latest version of mariadb? i used this method to build all extensions and modules:

/scripts/easyapache --build

but didnt work, i cant install the mysqli extension.

thank you very much.

i just configured and compiled php manually using:

cd /home/cpeasyapache/src/

php -i|grep configure

and

run this command
