PHP is Dead

A living memorial to a dying language

Days since declared dead: 5,024
Meanwhile, 77% of the web still runs PHP... PHP stands for 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor' which stands for 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor: Hypertext Preprocessor'... WordPress alone powers 43% of the internet. Yes, that's PHP. PHP was originally called 'Personal Home Page Tools.' Peak 1995. In PHP, 'T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM' is the error for '::'. It's Hebrew. Because why not. PHP has both array_key_exists() and in_array(), and they take arguments in opposite orders. The PHP elephant mascot is called 'elePHPant.' They were proud of that. MySQL_real_escape_string exists because mysql_escape_string wasn't escaping things... for real.
