PHP 4.x Easter Egg - Author's Picture
NOTE: This has only been tested on Linux with PHP compiled as module for the apache 1.3.x webserver, but should work on other platforms too.
1. open a PHP generated page from your server (or any server with PHP 4.x installed) in your web client. 2. append the string "?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42" (with out the quotes) to the url. 3. enjoy the resulting image :)

If the PHP directive expose_php is off (in php.ini), this "egg" will not show.

Under that link, have a link saying PHP Credit,
That link point to ?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000
That's why these are here, some of them shall not egg. They're here just to work with phpinfo();
Take a look at php-source/ext/standard/info.h

Nice egg!!! This is awesome, but the URLS posted are outdated. This is probably because there are new and better php versions, so the sites probably moved. There still are some sites which run on 4.0 though. To view the funny image go here:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/error.php?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
To view the logos, go here:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/error.php?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
http://www.phpfreaks.com/error.php?=PHPE9568F35-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
And finally, to view the credits (boring and not quite an eegg - its in the documentation) go here:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/error.php?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000
Of course, you can view the egg on any php website you like, you just have to add the ?=PHPB8... part to it.
Have fun searching for other cool eggs!

This works with PHP4 for Windows as well. You would think someone would find this whole routine in the source.

The only truly hidden image is the "?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42" one - the rest are called from the page produced by the phpinfo() function, which actually works on any day of the year.

You can use this on any site that has PHP.

http://www.flight1721.co.uk/index.php?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
In fact if you see a URL ending in .php add ?=PHPE9568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 or ?=PHPE9568F35-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 or ?=PHPE9568F35-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 to the end of the URL and see for yourself.
Works on all platforms as they have the same actual source code!

I'm no C wizard, but I believe this image is shown in stead of the php logo on top of the phpinfo() page on march 1st.
Look in ext/standard/info.c line 166

the id for the image changes every version - but to make it easier, you could write yourself a tiny php module containing a funktion like this:
function_entry easter_functions[] = {
PHP_FE(easter_egg, NULL)
{NULL, NULL, NULL} /* Must be the last line in easter_ffunctions[] */
};
PHP_FUNCTION(easter_egg)
{
// zend_alter_ini_entry("expose_php", sizeof("expose_php"), "On", 2, PHP_INI_SYSTEM, PHP_INI_STAGE_ACTIVATE);
php_info_logos(PHP_EGG_LOGO_GUID);
}
(the rest can be used instantly from ext_skel) or just put it in your usual dev-helper module.
