PHP extension ext-mysql_xdevapi is missing, can't install either

I'm trying to run an old project on my computer and get this missing extension error when trying to install composer, I'm trying to follow the instalation page but when I run pecl mysql_xdevapi I get some other errors as well.

Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in PEAR\REST.php on line 186

This projects composer require in case it's important

    "require": {
        "php": "^7.1.3",
        "ext-mysql_xdevapi": "*",
        "barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "^0.8.4",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",

        "laravel/tinker": "^1.0",
        "maatwebsite/excel": "^3.1"
    },

I use Windows and Xampp. I have other projects that work without any issues, I'm not sure what to do to fix this.
