 Entstehung und Geschichte


PHP trat erstmal 1995 in Erscheinung. Damals hie PHP noch "Personal Home Page" und wurde von Rasmus Lerdorf am 8. Juli in der Newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi angekndigt:

These tools are a set of small tight cgi binaries written in C.
They perform a number of functions including:
[...]

The only requirement for these tools to work is that you have
the ability to execute your own cgi programs.  Ask your system
administrator if you are not sure what this means.

The tools also allow you to implement a guestbook or any other
form that needs to write information and display it to users
later in about 2 minutes.
