According to the source code for this function (/ext/standard/info.c), the description is not
correct. The function returns information about the operating system PHP is _running_ on, not built
on. For example, if PHP was build on Win2000 but is running on WinXP, the function should report a
version number appropriate for WinXP. I have not tested this, just read the source code which calls
the WinAPI function GetVersion() or the *nix function uname() at _run_ time.
