The remote host is running Chien Kien Uong’s Advanced Poll, a simple Poll system using PHP.

By default, this utility includes a file named ‘info.php’ that makes a call to ‘phpinfo()’ and displays a lot of information about the remote host and how PHP is configured. An attacker may use this flaw to gain a more intimate knowledge about the remote host and better prepare its attacks.
