For whatever reason, PHP 7.4.4 does not want to target the path php_mysqli.dll (Windows 10 Server edition) – Phpmyadmin

I managed to set up a PHP server by watching several tutorials on the subject. I want to get into storing data into PHPMyAdmin. Everything is good except one. PHP does not want to enable mysqli.dll which is required to run PHPMyAdmin. So far, I have this PHP code for the file php.ini.

; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
;   extension=modulename
;
; For example:
;
;   extension=mysqli
;
; When the extension library to load is not located in the default extension
; directory, You may specify an absolute path to the library file:
;
;   extension=/path/to/extension/mysqli.so
;
; Note : The syntax used in previous PHP versions ('extension=<ext>.so' and
; 'extension='php_<ext>.dll') is supported for legacy reasons and may be
; deprecated in a future PHP major version. So, when it is possible, please
; move to the new ('extension=<ext>) syntax.
;
; Notes for Windows environments :
;
; - Many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) or ext/ (PHP 5+)
;   extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5+).
;   Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.

What’s weird is that the path seems to be pointing to the right directory and file but the PHP console is telling me it cannot find the DLL file.
The target path
What the console is telling me
I’ve also tried this .php document and it also says it’s not loaded.

    <?php if (!function_exists('mysqli_init') && !extension_loaded('mysqli')) {
    echo 'We don't have mysqli!!!';
} else {
    echo 'Phew we have it!';
}
?>

What this PHP document is telling me.
