PHP Extension:mysql in phpmyadmin

When I log into phpmyadmin it says that my PHP Extension is: MySQL.

I know this needs to be changed to mysqli but how do I do that? Is that something I can do myself or is it a server config setting that I need my web host to change?

To instruct phpMyAdmin to use mysqli extension you have to add the following line to your config.inc.php

/* Select mysqli if your server has it */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';

You can not change this setting from inside phpMyAdmin. You'll probably have to ask your web host to do that for you.
