C'mon Alexander, one working system is  hardly conclusive evidence :-). 
Speaking only for myself, I believe my problem is that for some reason 
PHP when (and only when) accessed via apache is using the wrong mysqli 
API. I have a very small script that crashes and have done a backtrace 
and put print statements in the code. It is a PHP problem, which is not 
to say that it is a bug in their code. Mostly likely it is either a 
problem with my system or a bug in the PHP configuration program.

I haven't done a backtrace on the phpMyAdmin, so it might not even be 
the same problem, but I'm pretty sure that it is.

I've posted this in the php.general newsgroup, but if anyone here can 
tell me why the mysql API version is 3.23.58 when I do a phpinfo() from 
a browser, but is 4.1.10a when I do a command line call to "php -i", I 
would love to know. I'm assuming that is my real problem (the script 
works in the latter case and crashes and burns in the former).
