What the heck are you two talking about, the only way you can tell the
browser which favicon to use is in the meta data within HTML. The only
thing that php could possible do is apon favicon.php is return base64
data of an image through the use HTTP header functions. Often browsers
use the defualt favicon.ico in the root of the web directory.
