Why did you install another PHP when XAMPP includes PHP?

Open http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php in your browser, if you can, look for the Loaded Configuration File which for XAMPP should be in the xampp\apache\bin folder.

To get the PHP working again in XAMPP and also to get XAMPP working again you will have to find all php.ini files on your PC other than those in the xampp installation folder and either rename them or delete them as you can't run XAMPP when another php.ini file is in use - you will have a conflicting php.ini file that is used for C:\php installation that you don't need if you are using XAMPP.
