 Type php -v at a command prompt. It should return something like this:

testbed# php -v
PHP 5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Mar 31 2011 11:08:23) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
    with XCache v1.3.2-rc1, Copyright (c) 2005-2011, by mOo

If it does not, go to the php-extensions port, run make config and check the 
box which builds the CLI version. It is in addition to all the other 
extensions so it won't interfere with them.  The CGI build option  is also 
more commonly required when using FastCGI.

I'm basing this on the report that mysql_connect works OK in a web page but 
is failing when run at CLI. If I am misunderstanding something please 
excuse.
