PHP 3
Zeev and Andi decided to
completely rewrite the scripting language. They then teamed up with Rasmus to
release PHP 3, and along also came a new name: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, to
emphasize that PHP was a different product and not only suitable for personal
use. Zeev and Andi had also designed and implemented a new extension API. This
new API made it possible to easily support additional extensions for performing
tasks such as accessing databases, spell checkers and other technologies, which
attracted many developers who were not part of the "core" group to
join and contribute to the PHP project. At the time of PHP 3’s release in June
1998, the estimated PHP installed base consisted of about 50,000 domains. PHP 3
sparked the beginning of PHP’s real breakthrough, and was the first version to
have an installed base of more than one million domains.
