Yep, all that stuff works. I can list the contents of any table, etc. One thing I did notice is that in phpMyAdmin that the total sizes of both tables are different - out by a few kb for some of the larger tables with the Solaris ones being smaller.
I dunno, it's weird - the mysql selects that are in the PHP should be ignoring that level of stuff anyway...if it wasn't for the solaris box being able to use the pc tables cleanly I wouldn't have started looking at mysql being the problem. The php looks clean and it does work properly on the pc data when run from solaris.
