Detection evidence

How Themerella detects PHP

  • x-powered-by headers mentioning PHP
  • PHPSESSID cookie hints
  • PHP-related public runtime or extension markers
Report value

Every detected technology should include category, confidence, evidence, and practical risk/context so the result is useful beyond logo recognition.

False-positive boundary

What to verify before acting on PHP evidence

  • PHP signals are lower confidence and often intentionally hidden.
  • A PHP cookie/header does not identify CMS, framework, or hosting without more evidence.
Next workflow
  • Treat PHP as backend-language context, not a full stack verdict.
  • Review cookie flags, security headers, and CMS/framework evidence.
  • Use WordPress, Laravel, or ecommerce signals when they appear alongside PHP.
