What is this registry root key value?

[Sal]

Root key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT has the value:

ab(default) REG_SZ PHP File

None of the other root keys have a value (value not set). Can someone
explain what this key value means?

I have a feeling it's related to some problems I've been having with
the .php file extension which I set with the following cmd line
commands:

assoc .php=PHPScript
ftype PHPScript="C:\php\php.exe" "%1" %*

If I try to break the association with

ftype PHPScript=

I get an error: "File type 'PHPScript' not found or no open command
associated with it."

I realize I can just go into the registry and delete the key, but I
like to understand what I'm doing first.
