Obviously to Rasmus, PHP/FI is different from PHP.

Also, I think even if PHP was once written in Perl, whether its primary author considers it to be that way or not has very little bearing on Perl nowadays. Maybe you want to take this discussion elsewhere. Maybe there is a history website where you can record such things to your taste.

    AFAIK

    PHP 0 aka "Personal Home Page" was 1994 Perl and never released, nor called PHP.

    PHP 1 aka "PHP Tools - Personal Home Page Tools" was C and released 1995.

    PHP ? aka "Personal Home Page Construction Kit" (www.php.net/manual/phpfi2.php)

    PHP 2 aka "PHP/FI 2.0 - Personal Home Page/Form Interpreter" (like CGI+DBI)
