I think that is controlled by the expose php setting in PHP ini   expose php   off      Decides whether PHP may expose the fact that it is installed on the server  e g  by adding its signature to the Web server header   It is no security threat in any way  but it makes it possible to determine whether you use PHP on your server or not     There is no direct security risk  but as David C notes  exposing an outdated  and possibly vulnerable  version of PHP may be an invitation for people to try and attack it
