Hi Fella! I found the problem and fixed it. I only have one php.ini which is found under 'c:\winnt\'. What happen was that a couple of months ago, someone in my company without my knowledge had made a backup copy of php.ini and put it into hte D:\ drive. So, IIS for some reason didn't go to c:\winnt\ directory and jumped from c: drive to d: drive and use the backup php.ini. I fixed the problem by renaming hte file, from php.ini to php.ini_safe. This then cause the IIS to revert back to the php.ini in c:\winnt.
Hope this knowledge will help everyone one day. The weird thing is that when I use phpinfo(). It didnt show any file path. It just said the filepath is 'php.ini', no 'c:\winnt\php.ini' at all. It just said 'php.ini' before I renamed the file. After renaming the file, it still say 'php.ini' as if nothing had changed.
