Go ahead right now and run a file with just this function in it. What you’ll see is a list of the developers responsible for the version of PHP running on your machine.

You don’t have to save the princess eight times before getting to the credits, but sadly there’s no PHP theme music to play in the background as they scroll by.

The optional parameter will let you display only sections of the credits.

Constant Value Meaning it will display…
CREDITS_ALL -1 All the credits in a complete HTML page
CREDITS_GROUP 1 Core developers
CREDITS_GENERAL 2 General credits: Language design and concept, and PHP authors
CREDITS_SAPI 4 Server API modules for PHP, and their authors
CREDITS_MODULES 8 Extension modules for PHP, and their authors
CREDITS_DOCS 16 Documentation Team
CREDITS_FULLPAGE 32 The text to form a complete HTML document (including styles) wrapped around the other information
CREDITS_QA 64 Quality Assurance Team

If you’d like to get involved in helping improve PHP, check out the QA How You Can Help page and consider helping out with testing. And of course, report any bugs you may come across.
