Hiding PHP's X-Powered-By header

Question

I know in PHP, it sends the X-Powered-By header to have the PHP version.

I also know by appending some checksums, you can get access to PHP\'s credits,

Answer 1

You can set expose_php = Off in your php.ini if you don't want it to send X-Powered-By header.

PHP first compiles everything (including which headers have which values ) and then start the output, not vice-versa.

PHP is also detectable with its own easter eggs, you can read about this topic here : PHP Easter Eggs
