PHP extensions are showing not enabled through web browser but working through command line

I have a problem with my XAMPP installation, basically i have installed XAMPP with php7 and later added php8 to it. both are running perfectly on different ports. now i am trying to open socket extension but it gives error

Call to undefined function socket_create()

but on command line(through php7 and php8) it is executing without any error and when i try to execute same script from web browser it gives me error that

"Call to undefined function socket_create()"

i checked the available extension with the "get_loaded_extensions" function and on php7 it gives the following list (through command line)

[0] => Core
[1] => bcmath
[2] => calendar
[3] => ctype
[4] => date

but when i ran same script through web browser it gives my following extensions

[0] => Core
[1] => bcmath
[2] => calendar
[3] => ctype
[4] => date
[5] => filter
[6] => hash

[21] => PDO
[22] => Phar
[23] => SimpleXML
[24] => xml
[25] => xmlreader
[26] => xmlwriter
[27] => apache2handle

which are less than both versions.

I have already enabled the socket extensions in both PHP.ini files

extension=sockets

Here is the error data from error.log file and php_error.log file is empty

Any leads from where i can debug or eliminate this error?

Solution

I came to know that my apache is not loading the Configuration File of PHP. @IMSoP's comment give me lead to check from this angle. When i checked the phpinfo() output it shows me below configuration.

Configuration	Value
Loaded Configuration File	(none)

after some searching found a solution on StackEchange, I have to add below lines to my apache config file (httpd.conf) which is located in Directory:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf. The below lines actually tells apache to load PHP configuration file from installation directory, in my case it is d:\xampp\php\php.ini.

LoadModule php8_module c:/php/php8apache2_4.dll
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir ""D:\xampp\php\php.ini""
