I am starting to use Flash Builder for php to make an app. I have started with this very good example suggested by a user.
http://files.zend.com/help/Flash-Builder-for-PHP/Getting-Started/Mobile/build_a_mobile_(php)_application.htm

On Step 11 running the PHPUnit i am getting this error

PHPUnit_Framework_Error_Warning:mysqli_connect()[<a href='function.mysqli-connect'>function.mysqli.connect</a>]:MySQL server has gone away

I am understanding that it cant connect to MySQL but i dont know how to fix it. Any help?

MySQL server has gone away

That usually means that your connection timed out. What exactly is your PHP code doing?

Its connects to the database

public $username = "root";
    public $password = "";
    public $server = "localhost";
    public $port = "3306";
    public $databasename = "testdrive_db";
    public $tablename = "employees";
    public $connection;
    public function __construct ()
    {
        $this->connection = mysqli_connect($this->server, $this->username, 
        $this->password, $this->databasename, $this->port);
        $this->throwExceptionOnError($this->connection);
    }
