PHP

In 1994, Rasmus Lerdorf, a Danish-Canadian programmer, wrote several CGI programs in C. Common Gate Interface (CGI) is an interface specification that will let web servers execute programs that can generate dynamic web content. Lerdorf created this for his private web page and extended and added functionality to handle web forms and database communication. He named the project Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter, abbreviated to PHP/FI.
