No output when, having pasted that content into test.php in place of the 
former content, I curl that file. Just returns me to the command prompt.

Yeah, that's a lot of output. I can look at it using a graphical browser 
on localhost, but I don't get much out of it. See

I did, in a bit of preliminary searching last night, run across this 
thread http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/560108 where 
Mike Perkins claimed, a couple of years ago, that he'd resolved a problem 
like mine (see post #7). Does his resolution provide any helpful 
information?

Thanks for sticking with me on this, George. I'd be totally lost without 
some guidance on things to try in hopes of resolving this.
