Press Release Body = Developers everywhere have hugely adopted PHP. Netcraft [www.netcraft.com] conducted a review on use of PHP over 47,173,415 domains in February 2004. This review revealed that at least 15,204,474 domains out of those installed PHP. The total percentage of success was 32%. This fact implies that the popularity of PHP is growing steadily.
PHP is a popular open-source programming language generally used for building server-side applications and dynamic web pages; currently it is used to develop some software, too.
History of PHP:
PHP is the brainchild of Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, who initially working on a web development project on C or Perl, found it hard to overcome all the problems as the code problem overlapped from one to another. The unpublished initial module of PHP was nothing but library of some most commonly used C functions.
This version was created to enhance the reusability features of an open-source project. The first publicly published package was called Personal Home Page Tools; the basic function of this tool was to solve some common problems occurring in a personal home page.
But it was not the end; Rasmus implemented a larger C code to add features like database connectivity and building up dynamic web applications. The Rasmus\'s idea behind the PHP/FI was to perform all the general tasks when a user is submitting a form.
The PHP/FI 2.0 was already making its mark by 1997.It was very popular although it has spent most of the life period in beta version; the alpha version of PHP/FI was published in November 1997. Gradually it converted into PHP 3.0(alpha).
The PHP project so far was a single-member project, but the evolution of PHP 3.O version was made by two Israeli students - Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski in 1997 along with Rasmus Lerdorf.They co-ordinated with each other after finding some shortcomings on developing some e-commerce applications. The joining of new project members in the PHP project team enhanced the progress of the project.
The backbone of the PHP3.0 was its sound adaptability features. The reasons behind its success were the robust and lucrative functional services like several databases, protocols and APIs, which were really acclaimed by the users. It also had the object oriented syntax support, which has made it more consistent language. . PHP4.0
They were not happy with the operational effectiveness in some complex applications and also increase in the modularity features of PHP3.0\'s code. It took almost two years to officially release the PHP 4.0; the newer version was compliant with more web servers, database connectivity approaches, HTTP sessions and buffering output - just to handle user input more securely.
