I stand corrected in this matter (haven't used phpmyadmin for years and back 
then it didn't support mysqli and it was prone to a lot of security issues, 
which it is still), and it's quite unnecessary to make accusations against a 
person, no matter how subtitle it is.

But still, the OP will need to install the mysql extension

Even if he gets his phpmyadmin to work, his site will not.
Of course he can rewrite it, but I guess he rather gets it up and running now 
and not next year.
