You can enable this through easy apache, then go to the exhaustive options list.

ChrisRHS is correct; enabling the "mysqli" extension in PHP (v5) may be performed via EasyApache, using the Exhaustive Options List.

For additional reference on using EasyApache I recommend the following documentation resources:
Apache & cPanel/WHM
The Options Lists
EasyApache (Apache Update)
Exhaustive Options List

EastApache may be found in WHM at the following menu path:
WHM: Main >> Software >> EasyApache (Apache Update)

EasyApache may also be initiated using the following command via root SSH access:

# /scripts/easyapache

i do that and choose

Mysql
compile MySQL support using the PHP bundled libraries (if the System MySQL option is checked it takes precedence over this option)

Mysql of the system
compile mysql (and mysqli if its checked) support against the system libraries

MySQL "Improved" extension.
MySQLi does not replace the standard MySQL extension. Requires MySQL 4.1 or later. !! mysqli may not work on all systems, contact your support provider for mysqli support !!


finished when check if this function exist or no it show me no ??

The following command may be used to list MySQL modules installed in PHP:

# /usr/local/bin/php -m | grep -i mysql

As an example, you might see "mysql" and "mysqli"

# /usr/local/bin/php -m | grep -i mysql
mysql
mysqli

The provided PHP script is not a valid test for MySQLi support; a minor edit to the script will help; change mysqli to mysqli_connect.

Please refer to the official PHP documentation for more verbose details: PHP: The MySQLi Extension Function Summary - Manual

also return NO ??

[cPanelDon]

also return NO ??

When loading a PHP info page from the same path as the other script(s):
1.) Does it show PHP version 4 or does it show PHP version 5?
2.) Does it indicate support for MySQLi?

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Reference: PHP: phpinfo - Manual


Is MySQL at least version 4.1.13 or newer or 5.0.7 or newer? The following commands via SSH access could be used to confirm:

# mysql -V
# mysqld -V
# mysqladmin version | grep -i ver
