PHP 5.3 issue with Mysqli

Question

I am trying to setup a TYPO3 6.2 project and i am forced to use PHP 5.3 to get this run.

Using:

Problem:

i downloaded PHP 5.3 from SergeyD PPA
TYPO3 gives me this Error:

#1271492607: Database Error: PHP mysqli extension not loaded. This is a must have for TYPO3 CMS!
I downloaded php53-mod-mysql from SergeyD PPA it says that includes mysqli as well.
I dont have any php.ini inside my downloaded/etc/php53/apache2. I thought a solution could be to download the php.ini from official php.net for the same version, so I did than. cp the php.ini inside my /etc/php53/apache2 to enable mysqli But seems like that didn't worked.

I am checking that with a phpinfo(); This is the output:PHP Output

Question:

if you do phpinfo and then look at the output, and search for `php.ini` it will tell you exactly where the used configuration resides — Tschallacka, Jul 28 '17 at 11:10
you should consider upgrading your php version as php 5.3 is no longer supported. — Nitish Kumar Diwakar, Jul 28 '17 at 11:14

Sometimes you should not put things together which are not fitting. — Thomas Löffler, Jul 28 '17 at 11:52

I solved a similar problem with the intl extension for php.

The Ubunto version doesn't matter in this scenario. You should try the solution with the mysqli extension.

Im not sure, btu you could try:

sudo apt-get install php5-mysqli
