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.
