Simon Praetorius<p>I started toying around with the web way back in school and soon started breaking and debugging my first instance of phpBB2, which I hosted on an ad-based PHP hoster. This language taught me cowboy debugging, and it was so much fun!</p><p>Fast forward: My knowledge of PHP and the experience I mostly gained from dissecting OpenSource projects landed me my first job at an agency, and it still pays my rent to this day. Thank you, PHP!</p><p><a href="https://norden.social/tags/30YearsOfPHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30YearsOfPHP</span></a></p>
Sara Golemon<p>PHP has been a profound positive influence in my life. It has enabled me to meet people and experience things that I never thought possible. My life is better because of this fractal of bad design.</p><p>My impossible, traumatic, wonderful life that I have been privileged to share with all of you absolutely mental nerds. I love you all, so very very deeply.<br> <br><a href="https://phpc.social/tags/30YearsOfPHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30YearsOfPHP</span></a> 🧵(2/2)</p>
Sara Golemon<p>30 years ago, Rasmus unleashed PHP upon the world. A very short time later, a 21 year old me found PHP3 and fell in love immediately.</p><p>By 2002, I was submitting my first patches, within weeks I had direct commit karma. By 2006 I was speaking at conferences, writing a book on extensions, and Rasmus was personally recommending me for jobs.</p><p>I've seen PHP grow through most of its life. I've seen the lives of our community grow and change and been changed by it in return.</p><p><a href="https://phpc.social/tags/30YearsOfPHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30YearsOfPHP</span></a> 🧵(1/2)</p>

Kris<p>Today is PHP's 30iest birthday.</p><p>I started using PHP in 1997 or so, and together with Boris Erdmann and a few other people (Jan Kneschke, Ulf Wendel, Tatiana Nürnberg) created a thing called PHPLIB.</p><p>This was in the early days of PHP 3, and I think PHPLIB was the first thing trying to use the PHP object features. We found so many errors – I think Boris and I were responsible for 10 of 16 PHP 3 Beta-releases 🙂 </p><p>But: It worked. It was even fast and convenient, and easily extensible in C and PHP itself.</p><p>Ten years ago, in 2015, I was invited to give a keynote on 20 years of PHP, and interviewed.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiYmjd9MYzE" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=oiYmjd9MYzE</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>20 Years of PHP, a retroperspective</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEA9FfYAmNg" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=VEA9FfYAmNg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>Interview</p><p>PHP today is a very different language than what it was 30 years or even 10 years ago. I mean, it is still mostly compatible, but modern syntax, modern type checking, and modern execution engines with just-in-time compilation put it into a different league.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/30yearsofphp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30yearsofphp</span></a></p>
Jim Winstead<p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PHP</span></a> is for the web. What brought me to using PHP in 1996 was creating interactive web pages for the educational software company I worked at. I got involved with the project when it didn't yet do what I needed. It exploded in use because it made it really easy to build for the web in a way that no other languages ever have. It didn't start out as a sophisticated programming language, but it is now. And it's still fantastic for the web. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/30YearsOfPHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30YearsOfPHP</span></a></p>
