Why are modules available for PHP command line, not PHP-Apache?

Question

I'm setting up an Amazon Linux environment, and after installing some modules:

sudo yum install php-xml sudo yum install php-gd for example... and installing Imagick, and restarting (sudo service httpd restart) it does not seem to be installing for PHP-Apache. I'm using the official PHP7.2 in Amazon Linux 2 and oddly enough, for example xml_parser_create() does work in the php -a console, but when I put it in a php file, it causes exception when going to the php file, blank screen. Oddly enough it's not even getting the function not defined error to the /var/log/httpd logs.

phpinfo() also does not show Imagick or gd although installed.

I have checked php ini files for disabled_functions and didn't find anything else that would otherwise be an obvious breakage in the default install... is there a new way I'm supposed to enable PHP modules for the Apache php install?

there is a php.ini for the command line and one for PHP-Apache make sure they are added to both — user10226920

Pay close attention to the actual INI-file used by the CLI and Apache - it is in the middle of the very first table in phpinfo() output — IVO GELOV

@IVOGELOV I didn't see any disable_function directives in any ini files though. This is a new setup so it's surprising they have it set to not load new modules by default. — NoBugs

As I said - running phpinfo() once through the CLI and once through Apache and then checking whether they are using the same INI file - specifically the Loaded Configuration File row (7th from top to bottom) — IVO GELOV

The reason may be also in the extension_dir directive. I had the same problem on Windows and once I replaced "ext" with the full path, it resolved the problem — stckvrw

As others may have noted elsewhere there is another module I think it was service php-fpm restart? that is necessary on RHL
