I have been trying to install phpmyadmin for a while, and i always face the same error
I downloaded php7.0 and mysql-server-5.7
I also choose Apache2 and unix socket in the configuration process
Also tried adding Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
to the end of the file solution
and when I try to open the http://localhost/phpadmin
it shows this error
The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
See our documentation for more information.
Any help?

You need to install the software
php-mysql
. This will installphp7.0
's MySQL interface libraries to the proper locations.You can install it with:
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
After installation, restart your Apache2 instance -
sudo systemctl restart apache2
PHP should then detect the mysql and mysqli libraries.
