mysqli is the OO version, I believe

I'm not (intentionally) running php-cgi at all (although cgi is enabled 
in apache)

phpinfo() output attached.  But it seems to be pointing to the Zend one 
(the one that I've played about with via the symlink from /etc/php.ini).

Yes.  I'm running the Zend 5.1 Server, though, because the ZendPlatform 
wouldn't install for me and in fact prevented apache from starting.  
Using the Zend Server was the fix I got from Zend Support (who were very 
good, by the way).

Well, from the locate output, I guess we're talking about 
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ...

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = /usr/lib64/php5/extensions

... so that looks ok.

It does, however, appear to be contradicted by the contents of 
/etc/php.ini (the symlink):

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"

include_path = "/usr/share/php"

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
; if PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you SHOULD set doc_root
; if you are running php as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS)
; see documentation for security issues.  The alternate is to use the
; cgi.force_redirect configuration below
doc_root =

; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~username used only
; if nonempty.
user_dir =

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
; Altered by PB 03/07/2006 and then altered back
extension_dir = /usr/lib64/php/extensions
; extension_dir = /usr/lib64/php5/extension

Thanks for sticking with me Jonathan.  Does any of this suggest anything 
to you?

Cheers


Peter
