After lots of attempts and reinstalls, I got mine working by changing the symbolic link under windows 7.
file: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini
was originally linked to go to: c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/phpForApache.ini
Changed it to: c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/php.ini
Restarted everything, and it all worked. Even fixed my mysql not starting.
