PHP Developer reports that today PHP is officialy 10 years old:

I suppose, like everyone, I should chime in with how things started out for me with PHP: I was a Perl kind of guy until a friend/coworker of mine (who now works with me again) introduced me to PHP back in college. At the time, I think it was just rolling over to PHP3, and things were still a little messy, but I didn’t care. I’d just finished learning HTML (man, that does seem like a long time ago) and PHP was a great next step. Not too long after I learned the language, this site found its footing. I started PHPDeveloper.org back in 2000 and, honestly, had no idea that things would get this large. I’m so glad that this site has turned into a resource for the PHP community – even if it’s not the largest out there. I’ve been happy to give back where I can.

So, here’s to another ten wonderful years with PHP and all of the great enhancements that go with it!

Also the original usenet posting announcing PHP can be found here.

As a regular user of PHP I’m glad that it’s now getting the kudos it deserves. Sure a lot of moron program in it, but that’s its beauty. It’s scalable, you can use it to make almost anything and it’s so easy an idiot can begin to code in it. Even this Blog was made with it

Happy birthday PHP, happy birthday indeed!
