It doesn't - you have just overlooked that ssh -V sends its output
to stderr, while printf and php -v send it to stdout. Changing
your command line to

ssh myname at myhost 'printf %s: `hostname` ; ssh -V 2>&1 && printf %s: `hostname` ; php -v'

should work. (Assuming something sh-compatible as your login
shell, won't work that way with csh.)


Ciao
