This depends on the implementation of php, or more exactly on the c-client
implemented in the php, and on the server being connected to.

In other words, the same php may act differently to different servers, 
and the version of php itself is meaningless for this issue without 
knowing the version of c-client used in it and how it acts.

It would be good to update the the docs to address this issue, but I 
don't think we need to change the setup personally.

Or at least that is my understanding and opinion ;)
