Workaround f You are using remi repository and have conflicts when trying to install php-mysql:
yum remove mysql-server mysql-libs mysql-devel mysql*
and after You uninstalled EVERY mysql related package You need to install compat-mysql55 from remi-test repository but You should not install MySQL-libs package so You disable remi repository to install compat-mysql55 only:
yum --enablerepo=remi-test --disablerepo=remi install compat-mysql55
After that You can install MariaDB and php-mysql extension with:
yum install MariaDB* php-mysql
and it should be installed without conflicts.
