phpinfo and the cute doggie !
I was just testing a client site and ran phpinfo...and it scared the jeebers out of me for a few seconds. I thought I had got hacked or something by a canine-loving hacker.
There's this nice cute doggie's pic onthe right side where the php logo used to be. It says "Thies"...must be the PHP founder's doggie...but really, it kind of gets you the first time if you don't know what's happening. And then you see the date and its April 1st. So, either their doggie went to the heavens...or its just a gag.

First GMail, then misspellings on WHT, now this!
Even though it's funny, I could see it being a problem for some people demoing their sites:
Potential Customer: "What's that dog?"
Sales: "What d....Um, I don't know"
PC: "Oh, well, you guys look real secure *rolls eyes*"Former owner of A Small Orange

Are you sure it doesnt just do like vB, IPB, and so many other php apps and pull the actual logo from a remote site?

Heh, pre-scripted to change on 4/1/. Just like the guy in that link says, I wonder what else goes on "behind windows we don't see"

Well you are free to uninstall PHP on all your servers.

It was already there last year, so I wasn't really surprised by it.

You scared me! When you referred to phpinfo and cut doggie I thought it was my site . btw, if you are talking about phpinfo it would be a good idea to check out your php info in another directory instead of having it in /public_html/phpinfo.php

I bookmarked my doggie image and I can still get him back by adding this to the url: .../phpinfo.php?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
Good doggie!bigwrench
