HTTP 1.1 protocol, as most of the other protocol, uses headers for the communication between client (usually browser) and server.

An example of the header looks like:
Code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:03:41 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/5.2.11 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8k
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11
Set-Cookie: phpbb3_qxggi_u=1; expires=Thu, 24-Mar-2011 04:03:41 GMT; path=/; domain=forum.ivorde.ro; HttpOnly
Set-Cookie: phpbb3_qxggi_k=; expires=Thu, 24-Mar-2011 04:03:41 GMT; path=/; domain=forum.ivorde.ro; HttpOnly
Set-Cookie: phpbb3_qxggi_sid=514ad39b91e1e29bcb1a7553dcb8f4a7; expires=Thu, 24-Mar-2011 04:03:41 GMT; path=/; domain=forum.ivorde.ro; HttpOnly
Cache-Control: private, no-cache="set-cookie"
Expires: 0
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8


To remove the X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11 from this header, open your php.ini file and change the line:
Code:
expose_php = On

to
Code:
expose_php = Off


Of course, restart of apache is needed for this to take effect.
