Thanks for your help, i have resolved issue.

I have executed below commands in terminal.

sudo a2dismod php7.0
sudo a2enmod php5.6
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mysql
sudo service apache2 restart

Thanks,

As of version 16.04, Ubuntu comes with php7 by default. You need to install php5 repository. This might help:

#sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

try doing something like

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

in your php.ini

restart the webserver (e.g. with "sudo service apache2 restart")
