Could be your environment, PHP setup or any of about a dozen different
things.
One big difference is the cron job is probably running under a different
user, with different privileges - both for MySQL and PHP. It could even
be using a different php.ini - depending on the environment set up for
that user.
Did you try asking your sysadmin? That's where I would start -
otherwise you may spend days trying to chase down all the various
possibilities.
