It works from the command line if I leave out course.CourseID =  $CourseID
in the where line of the select clause.  I assume that I'd have to leave
that out when working from the command line because it's defined in the php
file...

But I think that that is where my problem is.  As I've mentioned, I'm very
new at this, so the answer could be very basic.

thanks,

Matt
