PHP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | PHP's ease of use and similarity with the most common structured programming languages—most notably C and Perl (and from version 5, Java)—allows most experienced programmers to start developing complex applications with minimal learning. |
 | | PHP was originally designed as a small set of Perl scripts, followed by a rewritten set of CGI binaries written in C by the Danish-Canadian programmer Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 to display his résumé and to collect certain data, such as how much traffic his page was receiving. |
 | | PHP does not enforce the declaration of variables, and variables that have not been initialized can have operations (such as concatenation) performed on them; however, an operation on an uninitialized variable does raise an E_NOTICE level error, errors that are hidden by default. |
