History of PHP
Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 originally generated PHP as a wrapper around Perl to display his resume information and collect some data like how many hits it was making. In 1995 Leodorf combined his own Form Interpreter with “personal home page tools” to create PHP/FI. In 1997, two Israeli developers of the Technion, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, rewrote the parser thus the basis of PHP3. PHP/FI 2 was officially released in November 1997 and public testing of PHP 3 began right away and the official launching was in June 1998. in 1999, the two Israelite started a new rewrite of PHP’s core thus producing the Zend Engine. And in May 2000, PHP 4 was released and the development continues with PHP 5.
