There are a number of setups for PHP. On Windows versions the mysql and mysqli extensions will be in the EXTENSIONS section of php.ini. This is also true for some linux distros. Other linux distros control the addition and removal of extensions via the repository manager (Ubuntu does this) and the extensions are enabled by writing their configuration files into /etc/php5/conf.d
Inspecting the phpinfo() output will help. Look for a section in the first panel marked Additional .ini files parsed
If you are on CentOS it is repository managed (although I use Debian rather than Centos). Try
yum install mysql mysql-server
then check your settings.

OK - remember that following the instructions below could result in data loss or a stuffed configuration. Make sure you have sufficient backups to recover from anything that goes wrong.
Backup - backup - backup...
1) Try yum install mysql mysql-server and see what happens. What have you got to lose?
2) if (1) didn't work - try yum update php and see if it will sort out PHP for you
3) if (1) and (2) didn't work -Try the nuclear option....
phpinfo()
