How Enable MySQLi Extension on PHP7 (LAMP / CPANEL)? - php

My server upgraded to PHP7 and now I am getting an error which reads "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."
I have tried adding extension=php_mysqli.so to my PHP INI but that doesn't seem to help. I am on a LAMP with CentOS and Apache 2.4 with MariaDB 10.0... All was working before the update. \
php -m shows:

PHP 7.1 - Error

I try to connect to the database with PDO, but I skip the exception:
Error: could not find driver
I'm using php 7.1 and Apache 2.4
I have uncommented the line extension = php_pdo_mysql.dll. Then restart the server but the same error keeps coming up.

Call to undefined function pcntl_wifsignaled()

I'm attempting to use the import functionality in mediawiki 1.27.0, but I'm getting the error message:
Call to undefined function pcntl_wifsignaled() in extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/LuaStandaloneEngine.php on line 645
I'm running PHP version 5.6.30 on Ubuntu 14.0.4 with Apache2.4.7. I've followed various bits on information to install pcntl module and to the best of my knowledge the module is operational. phpinfo reports that pcntl is enabled. I have also commented out the line in php.ini regarding disabled_functions. Below are some reports from various bits of Ubuntu to explain the current config.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Function utf8_encode undefined

I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed, which comes with PHP 7 by default; but I ended up installing PHP 5.6 as well, and I have apache using 5.6.
When I went to run a project of mine, it told me the following:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_encode()
I read through a bunch of posts where others have had this issue, and tried installing different extensions; but nothing has helped.
My understanding, was that that function would be packed with PHP (4,5,7) by default.
Any ideas?
* Update *
I did try the following, and it came back false.
var_dump(is_callable('utf8_encode'));

You see mysqli and pdo_mysql are definitely loaded. But if I run my php application it says: The mysql driver is not currently installed.
I can connect to mysql on command line successfully. What is wrong here?
mysql extenstion was deprecated and is totally removed in php7 so do not be surprised. Just quickly change to mysqli or pdo

DOMPDF 0.5.1 - new server environment breaks PDF output formatting

I'm using DOMPDF to generate PDFs inside of a symfony application.
On my current production server, it works great. I was tasked with moving
it to a new server. I checked out the code on the new server, and while it does generate a PDF still, most of the formatting is broken.
Here's an example of what happens:
http://geoffreymaddock.com/work/project-dompdf-working.jpg
http://geoffreymaddock.com/work/project-dompdf-broken.jpg
Some of the formatting works on the new server, some does not.
Both servers have identical code. They both run php 5.1.6.
The only difference that I can really see is that there are extra php modules installed on the new server. I'm not sure what could be causing this issue though.

Anyone run into this before, or know of specific conflicts?
I figured out the problem.
dompdf_font_family_cache
Contained static paths for font locations on the original server which broke
on the new server. Took a long time to figure that out, but glad I did.
