Originally designed as a high level scripting language for producing dynamic Web pages, PHP is used mainly in server-side application software.
PHP was originally designed as a small set of Perl scripts, followed by a rewritten set of CGI binaries written in the C programming language 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.
