<\/a>P<\/span>HP: How it began?<\/b><\/p>\nThe first ever PHP was written by Rasmus Lerdorf and it was called Personal Home Page (and hence the abbreviation PHP). It was the scripts for series of Perl scripts which was used for the purpose of tracking visitors to one\u2019s website or a particular web page and also for seeing who is viewing what. The one who discovered, as named here also used it for checking who is viewing the resume of his. This finally led into him rewriting PHP as some form of scripting engine and also added technical support for forms. The original term Personal Home Page was not used and instead PHP evolved as the PHP Hypertext. This is very effective in creating web applications which can range from e-commerce sites to personal websites and even the community portals. It can be used in forums, blogs and more.<\/p>\n
