Father of PHP


PHP‘s creator Rasmus Lerdorf  did not thought to create an entirely new programming language, he wants to solve the bugs & issues which he could find in his project.So for this he decided to write a code.At that time that code was become a new Language(used for server side scripting).Over 20 years ago, the Danish software engineer was looking for a better way to fix what he described as a “young problem.” The PHP project kicked off in 1995 and would eventually become a server-side scripting language and general-purpose programming language used by tech giants like Facebook, Yahoo, and Etsy.

Lerdoff, who is a contributor to many open source projects, worked as an infrastructure architect at Yahoo for more than seven years and joined Etsy in 2012.

Now every piece of Facebook code is implemented in PHP language.They used huge because php is a light weight language developed using c++(Object oriented based language).
