How to update the PHP settings on Windows?

I develop on a VM (with Debian 7), but in the current project, I have to user Composer from my Windows 7 host system. To do this I "installed" PHP (downloaded and saved in C:\Program Files\php-5.6.8-Win32-VC11-x64). As futher step I downloaded the Composer installer for Windows and started the Composer-Setup.exe -- and got an error:

Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly. Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:

The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible. If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl

OK. The php_openssl.dll in the ext folder. I created php.ini from the php.ini-production and enabled the line extension=php_openssl.dll. But no effect. The OpenSSL modle is still not in the active modules list (php -m). I also tried to change the ext folder, but also this setting is not getting updated.

What should one do, in order to change PHP settings on Windows?

Make sure that you have extension_dir set as well, otherwise PHP will look for the extensions in an incorrect location.

The php.ini-production file has this (commented out) by default:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
; extension_dir = "./"
; On windows:
; extension_dir = "ext"
