Well, if anyone can be said to have invented it, it's Rasmus. At some
point around 96 (?) he was approached by Zeev and some others who
suggested to recode what was then PHP/FI from scratch. The outcome was
PHP 3.0 . . . shouldn't someone write a history of PHP?
A little anecdote I keep telling is that back in '97, when I asked my
very first question on this list, it was answered within less than half
an hour by the mighty Rasmus himself! Having worked with M$ stuff mostly
up until then if felt, wow, this is like, I post to Microsoft and get an
answer from Bill within the half-hour! I was undecided then as to which
scriptiong environment to go for. This won me over.
Cheers,
Frank
