A Success Story of PHP As Web App Platform

PHP became popular after the release of PHP3 in 1998. The platform’s popularity was a direct result of its ease of use and deployment. However, this ease of use attracted mostly amateur programmers, those who did not bother to read and study CGI or HTTP standards.
