Isn't that just telling you that the web server has PHP loaded into it?

If you try these strings on a URL that isn't PHP, they won't work, even if the web server has PHP support. In any case you can: 1. Try it somewhere. 2. Visit http://37signals.com/index.php 3. Ask'em directly.

Actually the easter egg only works if the given page is interpreted as PHP.

Aha - ok, well then like their own site, 37signals.com, it's the front page that is in PHP, something that has been known for a while.

Yes, btw... if an application is good quality for the customers who cares what language they used?

Good to remember this case of 20% effort for 80% result. Why build all of your app tediously if one page is enough.
