phpmydamin says he mysqli extension is missing.

[joneall]

I have just installed 12.04, then installed

apache2 php5 mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 phpmydamin

Running phpmyadmin gives me the message

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img class="icon" src="./themes/pmahomme/img/b_help.png" width="11" height="11" alt="Documentation" title="Documentation" /></a>

Then

$ dpkg -l php5-mysqli
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

un php5-mysqli <none> (no description available)

BUT

$ sudo apt-get install php5-mysqli

Package php5-mysqli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
php5-mysqlnd:i386 php5-mysql:i386 php5-mysqlnd php5-mysql

E: Package 'php5-mysqli' has no installation candidate

Since I don't even know what mysqli is, I have no idea what to do here. Suggestions?

Working now

I don't know what happened. I purged php5, mysql and phpmyadmin. I then installed php5 separately, then mysql-client and mysql-server, then phpmyadmin.

Now it works.
