 I "fixed" this issue by using my VMWare Ubuntu web server. The server
 mentioned in my first post that is running on Windows XP was part of a
 WAMP installer, so I am positive that there is just some weird setting
 it has tucked away somewhere that I could not find. But a clean
 install of Apache2.2, PHP5, and MySQL5 on Ubuntu yielded a working
 script.
 
 I will post back if/when I figure out what was wrong on my Windows XP
 web server.
