I know that upon first glance this might seem like a duplicate post. I can see there are various posts already published regarding this topic. However, all of those posts seem to be about very specific actions causing the users/admins to see the "Lost connection" errors. My situation seems a bit different as I'm not doing specific actions to generate these errors. I don't notice when they happen, because I don't check my PHP error logs very frequently (they're not errors that show up on the front-end or back-end of my sites; just in the error log). Here's a sample of the most recent errors I've found:

Basically, I'm wondering if anyone can see what could be causing the lost connections. I'm not very familiar with PHP or PHP errors so I can't tell if these errors are cause for concern.
Thank you for any help/tips with this! I'm also very happy to provide more information about this!
