Hello Andi,

I wouldn't classify this is a easter egg, especially since PHP provides a
way to disable it, and also because it is not something the PHP group is
trying to hide. Infact the setting to enable/disable this is very clearly
stated in the php.ini, and is called "expose_php" .

It is used for exposing what the webserver is running, just like server
signature e.g. "Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a PHP/4.3.3-dev " .

Thanks.
