PHP Easter Eggs

To honor Easter, I’ve decided to put this little tidbit of information up. These are PHP easter eggs.  I had no idea these existed until I was running a security scan using Detectify.  This information can be considered to be a vulnerability since it could be used to obtain specific server information/versions and use that version as a reference to look up exploits against PHP, the server, etc.
You can use these by visiting your site, or another site, and using them in the URI:
