OSX Sonoma fresh brew of mariadb, php unable to load pdo-mysql

We are tearing our hair out! We brewed mariadb and php but continue to get errors when running php. Just a command like: php -v

Error like this:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'pdo_mysql' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql, 0x0009): tried: '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql' (no such file)), /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql.so (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql.so, 0x0009): tried: '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql.so' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql.so' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20230831/pdo_mysql.so' (no such file))) in Unknown on line 0

Tried this: pecl install pdo_mysql

The error was then:
