Mysqli extension not activated after it was added to the php.ini file

Question

I have downloaded PHP 7 and connected it to Apache web server and it works fine, but I cannot activate the mysqli extension what I did was: In the php.ini file, I removed the semicolon from extension=php_mysqli.dll , I have seen that the dll file exists in the folder C:\php\ext\ so I also added extension_dir = C:\php\ext .

However when I navigate to the phpinfo(); page on apache server , nothing has changed and there is no mysqli, only mysqlnd. Any ideas on how to fix this?

There is probably a `php.ini` in the `Apache\bin` folder. Thats what PHP when used under Apache will use — RiggsFolly, May 15 '18 at 19:55
Have you restarted your Apache server? You'll need to do that after making configuration changes. — Don't Panic, May 15 '18 at 20:02
You can check the "Loaded Configuration File" value in the `phpinfo()` output to see which config file is being used. — Don't Panic, May 15 '18 at 20:04

The issue was resolved when I added PHPIniDir "C:/php" in the configuration file (httpd.conf) of Apache24
