It sounds like you're not using the php.ini file you think you're using.
phpinfo() shows the one that's actually being used; if that file
doesn't exist, PHP will use a default php.ini file. You need to put
your php.ini file where phpinfo() says it should be (or you could modify
the Windows registry to change the location to wherever you want, but I
recommend the former).
Pretty much all hosts support mysql and mysqli drivers; not everyone
supports mysqlnd. You have a choice of using mysql, which will still be
supported for some time. Or, if you're going to rewrite your code, I
recommend you use the mysqli driver.
