PHP Language development history: it has three founders

The history of PHP language development

In 1994, Rasmus Lerdorf first designed the PHP programming language.

In June 1995, Rasmus Lerdorf published a PHP 1.0 statement on Usenet newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi.

In April 1996, Rasmus Lerdorf published a second edition of PHP statement on Usenet news group comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi. Compared to the PHP 1 simple label Substitution code, the second edition of PHP contains an analytic program that can handle more complex embedded tag languages.

In 1997, the Tel Aviv Company's Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans volunteered to rewrite the underlying parsing engine, and many others volunteered to join the rest of the PHP business, and PHP became a real open source project.

In June 1998, Php.net released the PHP 3.0 statement. After the release, the number of users really began to soar.

May 22, 2000, PHP 4.0 released. The development of this version is driven by developers who want to make some basic changes to the architecture of PHP, including the abstraction of the hierarchy between language and Web servers, and the inclusion of thread-safety mechanisms, with a more advanced two-phase parsing and execution tag resolution system. This new parser is still written by Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans and is named the Zend engine.

July 13, 2004, PHP 5.0 released. This version is powered by Zend Engine II and has added new features such as PHP Data Objects (PDO).
