That certainly makes more sense than what I was doing.

I also realized, when I went back to re-edit my /etc/mysql/my.conf file 
was that I also needed to edit the [mysqld] section, not just the 
[client] section.
I did this, and it worked, and I'm happy about that.

But I'm a little concerned about configuring my MySQL server 
configuration to meet the needs of one application.  Zend Studio was the 
only program that complained, and everything else was working fine.
I would have rather edited Zend Studio to conform to my MySQL server, 
but I couldn't find any configuration options to accomplish that.
Do you think having edited the my.cnf file is going to come back and 
haunt me later?
