My understanding of heartbleed is that it potentially exposes data
transferred over ssl encrypted links. As php generally[1] doesn't
implement ssl communication itself it probably doesn't affect core php a
great deal, but if you wrote php code using ssl functions eg http://
www.php.net/manual/en/ref.openssl.php you might have some exposure to
worry about.

[1] Not sure what curl does for ssl, but on a compromised platform, I
imagine it's possible that data passed over https using curl or similar
methods might also have been compromised.
