Well, according to my php.ini neither:
;extension=mysqli

;extension=intl
is enabled. But I no longer get the first error, now I cannot connect to the database:
"Unable to connect to the database. Main connection [MySQLi]: No such file or directory"
But enabling: extension=mysqli makes no difference.
This is what homebrew throws at me when running $ brew info php:
php: stable 8.1.2 (bottled), HEAD
General-purpose scripting language

==> Caveats
To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php_module /usr/local/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Finally, check DirectoryIndex includes index.php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

The php.ini and php-fpm.ini file can be found in:
/usr/local/etc/php/8.1/

To restart php after an upgrade:
brew services restart php
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
/usr/local/opt/php/sbin/php-fpm --nodaemonize

Notice how is says 'Not installed'.

Now, HOW on earth can brew claim there's a PHP 8.1.2 on my system when there's clearly not – only MAMP has a version 8 which is specifically versiopn 8.0.8?
The ONLY version of PHP related to brew is [email protected] …
Why is PHP such a complete mess to get up and running properly?
