Have you guys seen the egg in PHP?

It's pretty funny, makes you think about what eggs MS has done in their web tools.

I heard about that a while ago.

There should be no more Easter eggs in Microsoft products as there was an internet company memo a while ago saying it wasted product space and that any Microsoft employee would be punished if they put one in any software.

There are loads more eggs here

I personally thing the "eggs" are a slight security problem.

Say someone wanted to hide the extensions of their code for security reasons, someone could enter a querystring and find out if it was a certain language and possible use exploits in their code.

MS cracked down on eggs after Win/Office 95. A lot of that code had eggs. Som of them were continually running processes. A couple of computer mags extimated the amount of space and cpu consumed by the eggs and it was surprisingly large fror the days when most machines were 32Mb RAM and drives were measured in megs, not Gigs.

Well it is commonly known so it shouldn't be to difficult to extract it from source and remove it.

Most people who known what they are doing (and what to hide the fact they are using php) re-compile anyway so that they only include the php modules they need.

If the person was experience they could block any URL with the word php in it using an Apache addon.
