mysqli_stat($dbConn);
P.S. I use it to (get a message to) make sure I am connected

Here's the (saved archived)
answer to your question:
$status = $conn->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_CONNECTION_STATUS);
you can use
$name = $conn->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME);
Connections and Connection management
PDO::getAttribute
$pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_CONNECTION_STATUS) always return "127.0.0.1 via TCP/IP" even if i stop mysqld, to use:
if ($pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_SERVER_INFO)=='MySQL server has gone away')
{
$pdo=new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=mydb;charset=UTF8', 'root', '', array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT=>true));
}
PDO::getAttribute

You can use this code to check your PDO connection
/* PDO connection start */
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$server; dbname=$sdosmsDB", $username, $password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); /* PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION, PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT, and PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING */
$conn->exec("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
} catch(PDOException $e) {
die( 'Database Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
/* PDO connection end */
