In WAMPServer, there are 2 seperate php.ini files.

You are using the PHP CLI (Command Line Interface.
You have to manually amend the wamp64/bin/php/php7.4.26/php.ini file if you want to have changes applied to the CLI

Hi,

When you run this command:
> C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>php -m
what is the php.exe executable that is launched ? where is it ?

As RiggsFolly says, if we use PHP in CLI, it is not the extensions and parameters seen in the PHP option of the Wampmanager menu that are used.
Indeed, Wampserver is an Apache, PHP, MySQL server for WEB development, so it is the extensions and parameters of PHP for the use in protocol 'http://' which are indicated.
Extensions and parameters for use in CLI mode cannot be modified by Wampmanager menus, it is necessary to do it "by hand" in the php.ini file of the used PHP CLI version.
