PHP.. how did it all start?

How did php start off in the very beginning?

Supposedly in 1994, it was a perl hack by Lerdorf, over 3 years it grew, and then 2 other people created a parser for it, and it became php3. Beautiful isn't it? But if you want to know alot more information, You can easily read it for yourself.

Hope this was actually what you're asking for.

I thought i had read somewhere that it came from perl. Once i get this website finished i am going to re-study php. I did start learning php and found the basics pretty straight forward, but i got sucked into marketing this website and never completed my learning. Oh well... i think it's worth it, finally my site is starting to build up.
