[thelist] php/MySql Help Please - more

On Oct 2, Ron Dorman had something to say about [thelist] php/MySql Help Please

Just wanted to add a few things that might be key (though I dunno, I'm
just a codemonkey):

1. MySQL generates error messages fine through the command-line tool and
also through other scripting interfaces (or whatever you wanna call that)
2. PHP generates its errors fine. Syntax errors and all other
errors/warnings that don't deal with the database show up fine.

So, someone like me would reason that there's some issue with the
communication between mysql and php.
