I know thousands of other people have asked this before me but I already read about 4 other questions and their replies mostly said to remove the semicolon (I am using Windows, by the way) from the ";extension = mysqli" and stop MySQL before trying again. Although I never had the semicolon in the first place, I tried anyways. Then I read I had to specify the "ext" folder path in "extension_dir =", but it was set already. I also tried replacing it with "extension = php_mysqli.dll". At this point I have no idea on what I should do. Here is my php.ini file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ECmee20GyKQbKdAicedpgpiMzGhNduAI/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for any suggestion.

Do you have the `php_mysqli.dll` file in the `ext` folder inside your PHP installation directory? – ManSamVampire Nov 27 '20 at 09:31
there are many answers, not one. you need to make sure you are editing the correct php ini file. you need to restart the web server after editing php ini etc. – Your Common Sense Nov 27 '20 at 09:35
@ManSamVampire I have it, I just double checked. It just won't work though – Emanuele Polonia Nov 27 '20 at 09:38
@YourCommonSense I am editing the php.ini located in "...\xampp\php" and it still shows that up and always stop MySQL before trying again. I know I am missing something little, I just can't quite figure out what. – Emanuele Polonia Nov 27 '20 at 09:41
in case your PHP is not standalone but a part of some software bundle, you are supposed to use this bundle's control panel or something – Your Common Sense Nov 27 '20 at 09:42
@YourCommonSense I'll keep looking then. Thank you – Emanuele Polonia Nov 27 '20 at 09:49
