Stop Exposing Your PHP Version

[Skhilled]

Exposing your PHP versions can let a hacker know how exploitable it is. Here's how to stop it.

1.  Open a terminal and locate your php.ini file by typing the following:

php -i | grep php.ini

2.  Open your favorite code editor and search for (do not add the quotes!):

"expose_php"

3.  You will find one of these two options:

"expose_php = on" OR "expose_php = off"

4.  You want it to say "off" so it does not expose the versions.

5.  Restart Apache in your terminal by typing:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

That's it!
