PHP Is 30

a year ago

PHP Tools version 1.0 was released 30 years ago on June 8, 1995, by Rasmus Lerdorf.
PHP started as a set of CGI scripts in C to simplify web development tasks like handling cookies and form data.
Originally, PHP was a templating system for Apache, allowing C functions to be called from HTML.
Early adopters used PHP for both templating and business logic, despite it not being designed for the latter.
PHP's ease of use and integration with Apache made it popular for building dynamic websites.
PHP inspired many, including the author, to start programming and pursue careers in IT.
PHP's impact includes powering much of the web and inspiring tools like WordPress and Laravel.
