Hi guys I wanna share this interesting( some might not agree) PHP 'bug'
Just add these lines to any PHP URL and you will get to see the 'bug'.


You can try it on my server: www.enhost.com/pages/script.php?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
and www.enhost.com/pages/script.php?=PHPB8B5F2A0-3C92-11d3-A3A9-4C7B08C10000
The first image is that of the developer, the second one is less interesting, which is just the PHP4 development team credits.
Try it on any php URL, it will work!

This has been discussed before, why would you call it a bug?

it is not a bug but a 'bug'

Does anyone know of any 'bug' that can be executed in ASP script?

No problem!
I know of some 'bugs' in Photoshop too.
those were much more hilarious.

They are called Easter Eggs, developers put them in there to keep themselves entertained and to see how long it takes people to dig them out. Windows has several of them, there is a website somewhere that list them all, I lost the link sometime ago.

Reminds me of 'secret codes' in games.
