PHP7 extensions aren't reading correctly from config file

Question

I'm setting up a WordPress installation on my Windows server. I have an IIS site set up to look at the correct folder. Right now, in the folder is a php_info file so that I can see which PHP is installed. I personally installed PHP 7.2.8. However, when I look for the php_info file in the address bar, it shows the php info page with the version being 7.2.2. The Loaded Configuration file has to correct file path of the folder I uploaded. The environmental path is pointing to D:\PHP\PHP7 (which is correct). So I'm not sure why this is happening. The biggest issue is that there are some extensions that I need to enable (that are, indeed enabled in the ini file) that aren't showing on php info page.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

How did you install PHP? How did you install the _other_ version of PHP? — Michael Hampton, Aug 02 '18 at 14:02
Well it was actually installed for me by our server crew. This is also a new server. No other php versions have been installed on here ever. — drethedevjs, Aug 02 '18 at 14:04
You should have a chat with the server crew first, before talking to us. — Michael Hampton, Aug 02 '18 at 14:05

I made a mistake. I thought I had 7.2.8 but it is actually 7.2.2. As for the extensions problem:

I solved the extensions problem. My php.ini file was pointed to the wrong ext folder. I updated it and now the correct extensions are showing up on the info page.

Where to update in the PHP.ini file: Search for the [WebPIChanges] header. The extension_dir is what you want to update.
