Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' (php 5.6+)

Question

A cronjob keeps raising this issue

Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND'

the cronjob:

php /path/to/public/index.php /cron

My server: PHP Version 5.6.23 (Apache Handler) Ubuntu 14.04

The line provoking the error is FatFreeFramework's SQL php class:

function __construct($dsn,$user=NULL,$pw=NULL,array $options=NULL) {
    $fw=\Base::instance();
    $this->uuid=$fw->hash($this->dsn=$dsn);
    if (preg_match('/^.+?(?:dbname|database)=(.+?)(?=;|$)/is',$dsn,$parts))
        $this->dbname=$parts[1];
    if (!$options)
        $options=array();
    if (isset($parts[0]) && strstr($parts[0],':',TRUE)=='mysql')
        $options+=array(\PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND=>'SET NAMES '.
            strtolower(str_replace('-','',$fw->get('ENCODING'))).';');
    $this->pdo=new \PDO($dsn,$user,$pw,$options);
    $this->engine=$this->pdo->getattribute(\PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME);
}

After reading Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' in Undefined class constant (PHP 5.5.3) I've tried adding the extensions in the php.ini, to no avail.

 extension=pdo.so
 extension=pdo_mysql.so

This SO post seems to indicate that the constant is not necessary but the thread was never closed. Advises welcome.

Have you tried adding the extensions in the correct php.ini file? The one used for command line? — Mark Baker, Sep 06 '16 at 12:29
yes. In fact, when I added it, I got an error message: "extension already loaded". — pixeline, Sep 07 '16 at 06:49
