Cant connect to MySQL DB from PHP

[xy16644]

When I try to run a PHP webpage from a browser that is trying to connect to a database the following is logged in httpd-error.log:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()

What could be causing this issue? I can run other PHP pages fine, just not the ones with test SQL statements in them. I have Googled this error but I still haven't had any luck in resolving it.

You are missing the port databases/php5-mysqli. This is required.

Other scripts might be using databases/php5-mysql so they are working.
