What are the potential pitfalls of not having the correct paths configured in the php.ini file when using PHP extensions?

Not having the correct paths configured in the php.ini file when using PHP extensions can lead to errors such as "extension not found" or "unable to load dynamic library". To solve this issue, you need to ensure that the extension_dir path in the php.ini file is set to the correct directory where the PHP extensions are located.

; Path to the directory where the extensions are located
extension_dir = "C:/php/ext"
