Obviously no php.ini file is loaded. Check the directory where it's looked for and that it really IS there and the permissions are correct.

manually copying the php.ini file from where it was installed c:\program files\php\ to c:\windows\, where php seems to be expecting it and rebooting the server corrects the problem.

Encountered the same problem. In my case, there were some dlls mentioned in php.ini that were not getting loaded properly. I did a "php -m" at the command prompt in the php folder. Corrected the errors (basically commented the dlls that were not required). PHPIniDir was set using double quotes and forward slashes. Then it worked : phpinfo() showed the loaded configuation file and it recognized my mysqli calls.

I encountered this problem using PHP with Apache.
I found that I had to edit the lines in Apache httpd.conf that the PHP installer 
had entered.

These lines had been generated:
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\"
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL

Removing the trailing backslash on the ini path resolved this issue for me:

#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP"
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
