PHP 7.2 -- mysqli installed, ext ref uncommented, but still not available

Is there something special I'm not doing? The routine mysqli_connect isn't being found. But pkg list says databases/php72-mysqli is installed, and I have the extension reference uncommented in php.ini, which phpinfo tells me is being read up. Other than doing a make install from ports, I'm not sure what's left.
 
You don't usually need to uncomment anything in php.ini for extensions to be loaded on FreeBSD. Each extension creates a file in /usr/local/etc/php which has the extension entry in it. (At least that's the way it has worked with 5.x in recent years)
 
Well, it turns out that although I built apache24 with no special flavoring, and it's loading the no-threads prefork module, it's nevertheless looking for the php modules in the thread-safe subtree /usr/local/lib/php/20170718-zts. But there is no such subtree since I didn't check the "force zend thread-safe" box. The lib modules are in 20170718, no "-zts".

It's quite annoying, since there doesn't seem to be a way to tell apache24 that it wants the non-threads-safe subtree.
