PHPUnit normally runs within the CLI - command line interface.

The PHP you've got there is different than with the webserver. Different binary and often a different configuration as well.

$ php -r "new mysqli();"

Should give you the same error. Verify where the binary and configuration is located:

$ which php

And

$ php -i | grep ini

Ensure you've got the extension for the mysqli class installed and enabled. Once configured you should be able to run your unit-tests flawlessly.
