A little PHP History

It's hard to believe that PHP is almost 20 years old.  According to an article in here (on Wikipedia), it was started in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf a Danish/Canadian programmer, and has grown to be one of the most popular development platforms for building web pages today.  Lerdorf originally developed PHP out of a set of Perl scripts and later C binaries.

Today it powers billion dollar companies, including Digg, Facebook, and of course Wikipedia.
