PHP was created in 1994 under the name Personal Home Page (PHP), when Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a series of "Common Gateway Interfaces (CGI)" through the Perl programming language. Whose job was to maintain the homepage of his own personal website. Which would record his CV and web traffic or number of visitors. Due to the performance of the site, he rewrote the same script with C (programming language). And with that he added the ability to add web forms and databases and called this design "Personal Home Page" or PHP for short. Basically PHP is created from here. It is used to create simple, dynamic websites. HTML was then embedded in PHP on June 7, 1995. Then came version 3 in 1998 and PHP 5 version came in 2004 and now the latest version is (stable) 7.3.3 (March 7, 2019).
