I've got this working out now.
For some reason PHP wasn't loading the .so extension files. The old phpinfo() showed:
Code:
additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini
whereas my new (and corrected) phpinfo() now shows:
Code:
additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/curl.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini
I think it may have had something to do with an uninstalled php-cli package still hanging around, or some other odd dependancy.
