Apache doesn't understand, or generally care, about the format of POST
request entities. There's a common misconception that POST ==
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, but there are several encodings one
can use for POST entities.

Hiding PHP is another matter entirely, and somewhat impossible to do
given the various remote crashing bugs it contains. Perhaps you could
explain better what you're trying to hide?
