We have spent a few days trying to figure this one out. We are moving to a new server with Ubuntu
Bionic, using PHP 5.6.38 and mysqlnd as the driver. We need to use persistent connections
(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => TRUE). However, we kept getting the server gone away or lost connection
errors, apparently a false positive. These went away when we took persistent connections off. The
solution for using persistent connections was to use the error control operator '@' as
rgagnon24 stated more than 5 years ago. Just posting here to let the powers that be know this is
still a 'persistent' bug. Pardon the pun.

This bug still exists in PHP 7.0.15 and PHP 7.1.1.

I've just run into the problem that PDO::__construct emits a needless warning 'MySQL
server has gone away' when a persistent connection was closed remotely (e.g. by a MySQL server
restart). Since the connection is automatically reestablished there is no need for such a warning.
I did not know that you could use the '@'-error-control-operator to suppress the
unnecessary warning without suppressing exceptions, too. Thank you for the hint, rgagnon24!
