Does anybody has enough information to write a NASL script (other than
just verifying the version number)?

hmmm lets keep a watch on our logs, for now.
if you want to hide the fact that you are running php, in
<localpath/etc/php.ini> do this:
;
; Misc
;
; 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.
expose_php = Off

also review the other settings that may affect your security.
