    Title : Windows Based PHP Leaks True Path
    Author : Paul Brereton
    E-Mail : brereton_paulat_private
    
    Summary : PHP for Windows reveals the true path where the program was
    installed. This would be considered in most cases sensitive information.
    
    Details : By appending /123 to the end of a PHP file such as
    http://somehost/database.php/123 the PHP program will return its install
    path:
     The following message is displayed : Premature end of script headers:
    C:/php/php.exe
    
    
    Regards,
    
    Paul Brereton.
