No joy. I copied the file as you described, restarted the Apache server, then reloaded the phpinfo but still no MySQL section.
I'm going to remove everything and reinstall using the suggestion of Evelyn Yoder.
Thanks for you interest.

Did you try copying the libmysql.dll file to system32 folder? The MYSQL
section did not show up until I did that on my test pc.
