The birth of the legendary PHP three founder introduction _php tutorial

PHP (now the mainstream development language) has been in existence for 12 years now. During this period it has been continuously improved and has become one of the most important languages for web development (which occupies a large proportion in the current process development). PHP (as the current mainstream development language) can achieve today, its 3 founders (Rasmus Lerdorf, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans).

The Birth of PHP (which is now the mainstream development language) is inseparable from the experience of Rasmus Lerdorf. Rasmus Lerdorf was born in 1968 on the Godhavn/qeqertarsuaq of Dicos Island in Greenland West. He is the pedigree of PHP (which is now the mainstream development language). Prior to the design of PHP, which is now the mainstream development language, Rasmus Lerdorf maintained the news satellite communication system in the early 90, and designed a protocol for verifying the correctness of the data. It then received 2 Canadian patents in 1991. In 1991-1993, he worked as a UNIX programmer for nearly 3 years and successfully developed an object-oriented interface generator. In 1994, Rasmus Lerdorf was promoted to Product manager, hosting and designing a number of Unix-based communication and GUI systems. In 1995, Rasmus Lerdorf became an IT consultant. In the following years, he worked in University of Toronto, Bell Global Solutions, IBM, Linuxcare Inc and dot.com Bomb/baby vacation, and designed and developed a large number of software systems.

Rasmus Lerdorf formally joined Yahoo in 2002, in Yahoo he has been engaged in PHP (as the mainstream development language now), Apache (Unix platform of the most popular Web server platform), Ajax (dynamic website static) Technology-related development work as well as software architecture research,

Years of experience in software development has enabled Rasmus Lerdorf to have a deep technical foundation. In 1994, he designed the first version of PHP (as the current mainstream development language) for PHP 1.0, which was published in 1995 through the community. In 1996, Rasmus Lerdorf also designed PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 2, in 1998, because Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans were doing graduation design, need a language for developing web programs, They also considered ASP and JSP (the first choice for sun enterprise applications), but since ASPs are only running on the Windows platform, and JSP (the first choice for Sun enterprise applications) is too complex, they finally chose PHP (as the mainstream development language today), but they found that PHP ( The functionality of the current mainstream development language was limited at the time, so they decided to rewrite the underlying parser for PHP (which is now the mainstream development language), the first widely used version of PHP (which is now the mainstream development language): PHP 3.0.

Rasmus Lerdorf has created PHP (as the mainstream development language of the present), but perhaps he does not intend to start a business, but instead chooses some companies to continue to pursue the career he loves. And as PHP (now the mainstream development language) evangelist to all over the world to promote PHP (as the current mainstream development language). Figure 3 is Rasmus Lerdorf is in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo a novel PHP (as the current mainstream development language) lectures, in which a famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke attended the meeting.

The other two founders of PHP (now the mainstream development language), Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, did not have Rasmus Lerdorf so well-behaved. They rewritten PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 3.0 parser in 1998, and in 1999 they set up a commercial company Zend PHP, which is now the mainstream development language. Once again the myth of two-person entrepreneurship, remember that Google's two founder Brin and Page was founded in 1999 Google, although Zend did not succeed Google, but the establishment of Zend for the commercialization of open source software laid the foundation.

Zeev Suraski has been working on PHP since 1998, which is now a mainstream development language. After the development of PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 3.0, Suaraski and Gutmans continue their PHP (as the current mainstream development language) dream, began tight gongs to develop their Zend engine, that is, later PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 4.0. While designing PHP (as the current mainstream development language) 4.0, they also designed a number of components, such as the service abstraction layer and multithreading support, for PHP, the current mainstream development language.

Suraski and Gutmans seamlessly together to make their achievements extraordinary, and here are some of their accomplishments:

Apache (the most popular Web server platform for UNIX platforms) Software Foundation member

• Nominated for the 1999 GNU Free Software Award

• Won the 1998 CNET Web Innovation Award runner-up

• Won the 1999 LinuxWorld Magazine Best Choice Award

• PK ASP wins in the Web technology magazine, making PHP one of the best web development tools in the world today, as a mainstream development language.
