Hi Dawie,
My guess is that you are editing the wrong php.ini, there are 2.
Use the wampmanager menu to make sure you are editing the correct one
wampmanager -> PHP -> php.ini
This will edit \wamp\bin\php\php{version}\phpForApache.ini
The \wamp\bin\php\php{version}\php.ini is used by the PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) only.
