Thanks *very* much to all who replied. This question has occupied most
of my time for two full days and it's a tremendous relief to know that
I'm not alone in my struggles.

As it turns out, php *was* trying to read a different .ini file when
invoked from the command line than when invoked via browser. I say
'trying to' because I had changed the name of the alternate php.ini to
'deactivate' it. I assumed that since php still worked in the browser,
I didn't need the other .ini.

I reactivated the alternate php.ini, told it the path to mysql.so, and
everything works as advertised.

I know with this version of php, I should be using mysqli.so, so
that's my next step.

Thanks again to everybody,

Andy
