Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.
Just to clarify, while WordPress 5.9.x is not fully compatible with PHP 8.1, it does succesfully run on that version in general, with some deprecation notices, as seen in automated test runs.
You can find more details in this post: WordPress 5.9 and PHP 8.0-8.1.
I think the issue might be specific to your server configuration. If you need help with your site, I would suggest trying the support forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

Eh.. the MySQL extension was removed from PHP when PHP 7.0 was released.
This doesn't sound like an issue with WordPress, but as an issue with a misconfigured hosting account in which the (required) mysqli extension has not been enabled (on PHP 8.1 or at all).
You may want to have a read through the documentation on installing WordPress: https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/
