The extensions need to be loaded.  phpinfo() can tell.

The sections are optional (AFAIK), the `extension' directives are not.

Does phpinfo() say that the two extensions are loaded?  (Are there any 
occurrences of `mysql' or `mysqli' headings in the output?)

Are you sure there is only one php.ini?  It matters not if you write your 
directives into an .ini file that is not considered by PHP in the first 
place.

Yes.  Look in the phpinfo() output where it says where the .ini files are 
and modify *those* files.  As an alternative, you can set the PHPDIR system 
environment variable to your real PHP directory, then restart Apache.  (This 
has worked for me with the PHP ISAPI module on Windows.  It might also work 
with Apache on Windows.)

I am afraid your English is not so good, therefore not well readable and 
understandable; it is obviously based on German sentence structure (I can 
tell).  Why do you not post to de.comp.lang.php instead?
