Folder php:, what is it

I just ran laravel new new-project and it created the new-project directory as expected, but it also created a php: folder at the same level new-project, any ideas as to what that is? i googled around a little but did not find anything.

It was something to do with using the homebrew installed version of composer, I brew removed composer it and installed it manually and it stopped it from creating that directory... no clue why it was doing it.
