Bug #16381 Updated: A strange face on the test.php php-logo!

ID: 16381 Updated by: cs1spw@bath.ac.uk Reported By: arthur_chong@hotmail.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: RH Linux 6.2 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: That confused me as well - I figured it was an April Fool's thing but I couldn't work out how it was done (the image is served up by the web server rather than being hosted anywhere on php.net). It turns out it's an easter egg built in to PHP - if the server date is April 1st the alternative logo is used. You can see it on other days of the year by tagging this on to your PHPinfo page URL: ?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 The guy in the picture is Thies (see the alt tag) - one of the core PHP developers.

Did you guys really mean to do this?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16381&edit=1
