[edit] History
PHP was based on a older implementation, called PHP/FI (short for Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter), otherwise known as PHP2. PHP3 was a major rewrite of the PHP2 implementation, making it more like the PHP it is known as today. PHP4 was the first PHP version to be deployed massively. It used the Zend Engine 1, a rewrite of the PHP3 core. PHP5 was based on PHP4 and fixed a lot of security issues and a new object oriented model.[2]
[edit] Third party implementations
There have been an alternative free implementation, Roadsend PHP[3], released under the LGPL. [4]
