Database Error when running via command line

Just in case anyone is still looking for the answer, it looks like the php version that comes with os x is missing some things from the cli.

So, if you're running MAMP (or something similar) instead of just running

Code:

php script.php

you need to run

Code:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php script.php
