Does "Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.16)" mean that the server is implementing PHP (the base page is HTML) ?

"Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.16)" is called a server signature. While 
you can configure a server not to report what it is running, most 
servers do. This particular server happens to be running Apache 
version 1.3.12 and PHP version 3.0.16. One should note that PHP is 
well into version 4.2, and PHP4 is not neccessarily compatible with 
PHP3.
