Introduction php

Php growth began in 1994 when Erasmus Lea doff wrote several Common Gateway boundary program in C which he used to maintain his individual homepage. He extended them to work with web forms and to converse with databases, and called this realization "Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter" or php could be used to build simple, dynamic web applications. To gather speed bug reporting and improve the code, Lea doff firstly announced the release of php  as "Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools) version 1.0" on the Usenet conversation group comp.info-systems. on June 8, 1995. This release already had the basic functionality that php has as of 2013. This incorporated Perl-like variables, form handling, and the ability to embed HTML. The syntax resembled that of Perl but was simpler, more imperfect and less consistent. Early PHP was not intended to be a new indoctrination language, and grew organically, with Lea doff note in retrospect: "I don’t know how to stop it, there was never any intent to write a indoctrination language I have absolutely no idea how to write a indoctrination language, I just kept adding the next commonsense step on the way. A development team began to form and, after months of work and beta testing, officially released php in November 1997.The fact that PHP was not originally calculated but instead was developed organically has led to inconsistent naming of functions and inconsistent ordering of their parameters. In some cases, the function names were chosen to match the lower-level libraries which PHP was "wrapping", while in some very early versions of PHP the length of the function names was used internally as a hash function, so names were chosen to improve the allotment of hash values.
