Description: What is PHP?
PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose
scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
How PHP came into being
PHP started as a quick Perl hack written by Rasmus Lerdorfin late 1994. Over the next two to three years, it
evolved into what we today know as PHP/FI 2.0. PHP/FI started to get a lot of users, but things didn t start
flying until Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmanssuddenly came along with a new parser in the summer of 1997,
leading to PHP 3.0. PHP 3.0 defined the syntax and semantics used in both versions 3 and 4.
Why yet another language?
