i have installed wamp for mysql, apache and php, and it's working fine when i type php -v in console i'm getting php version 7.4.9

PHP 7.4.9 (cli) (built: Aug  4 2020 11:52:41) ( ZTS Visual C   2017 x64 )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

but i have edited the following php.ini in the version 7.4.9 folder, and then restarted wamp services but the settings didn't get updated.

what did i miss to do ? or my wamp configuration is messed up ?

CodePudding user response：

maybe your system $PATH contains php 7.4 folder but maybe wamp is using another version

to get the right php.ini:

1. click once on wamp icon in the windows taskbar
2. hover php to display
3. php details click on php.ini on the little menu

the following image describe the process wamp php.ini file
