MySQL through PHP through Apache on Windows dont work

Question

I am working on a Windows 7(x64) with Apache 2.4 x86, Php54 x86 and MySql 5.6 x64.

PHP is working well on my Apache Web Server.
When i run PHP from CommandLine : php dbTest.php it runs without problems
but when i try to load my page, i get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in <path to dbtest.php> on line 3
tried installing PHP 55 but nothin...
Tried putting libmysql.dll in (php dir, win/system32, apache bin)
installed VC71 runtimes (because i saw it in a troubleshooting guide)

Edit:
- also tried installing all x64 (Apache and PHP)
- tried to install Apache v2.2 and PHP v5.3,

Nothing works...

Thank you for your time.
and for saving me the last few hair i have!

PHP 5.4 comes with mysqlnd installed by default so you shouldn't need libmysqli.dll

Does phpinfo() list a mysqli block?
