Has anyone else noticed this??

if you add this to the address of most (nearly all) php pages

?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

You get a php gift.

e.g.

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

How is this happening?

I know of some sites where it doesn't work, what have they done to stop it?

This does not only effect XOOPS sites, it seems to be a php thing so it covers most php sites e.g.

http://www.fedoraforum.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

If you turn expose_php = off in the php.ini, it wont show.
The default is on, so it shows, just like you can attach a little string to show the phpinfo without actually calling phpinfo(); in a php file.

Oh, so its the Web server that is at fault?

Its nothing that can be a security risk?
