History of PHP[edit]

Design[edit]
ECHO "PHP is nothing more than a thin wrapper around the BASH scripting language. The code was then obfuscated six times, emailed to India, lost, found, lost again, emailed back to the US, failed to compile, then thrown away and reimplemented in COBOL. This design makes it extremely flexible, fast, and explains why Gosling was able to create the first prototype at all.";

Using PHP[edit]
?>
Pee Itch Pee is frequently used in conjunction with the complementary "MY sql" platform. This was the first database package to implement the concept of restricted access, hence the capitalized "MY" — as in, "This is MY God-damned database! Get your own!" Before that, all databases that were even remotely connected to the Internet were publicly accessible and writable by anyone, ever. The concept that the National Security Agency couldn't keep its own stuff secret was possibly scarier than the concept that they could get everyone else's (which they now do anyway, using third parties).
Also known as "Pee Itch Pea", which stands for "one who eats peas has itches and wants to pee", ("peas" not to be confused with "beans", from which the latter is related to another technology: Java. e.g. like in "JavaBeans")
PHP, contrary to popular belief, can perform a wide variety of functions. It is, in fact, not limited to being a server-side scripting language. For example, plans have recently been laid out to change the implode() function. Instead of returning arrays as a single string, it will now make heavenly bodies implode. This includes the universe itself. The following is an example of the new abilities of this function. It allows the user to make the universe implode on the push of a button.
<?php $object = $_POST['objectoimplode']; if (isset($_POST['objectoimplode'])) { echo 'You chose to implode the '.$object; implode($object); } else { echo "Please select a cosmic variable to implode"; } ?>
<?php
Hello World[edit]
function helloworldcode() { $l1=('He'./*HE HE*/'llo w'./*or HI (bad style to write 'low')*/'or'./*or AND*/'ld'/*<- bug no meaning*/); for($lI=$ll=0;$ll>=$lI;$ll++&&$lI++//$II+* ){z($l1[$ll%=4]);/*$II+=$lI<<$ll*///$II++ if($lI!=($ll%true)+2);else break;}z('!');z("\x21\x0a"); function z($l1='$?\"'){printf("%s",$l1);}; } helloworldcode();
Pointless Programs[edit]
eval( "?> PHP was designed with a remarkably simple syntax with optional type checking of variables that allows for completely pointless programs such as: <?php" );
<?php $nippleBoobies = new NippleBoobies(); $nippleBoobies -> setSize( 221 ); // 221 is "DD" in hexadecimal because we like BIG boobies $cleavage = $nippleBoobies -> getCleavage(); echo $cleavage -> stringify(); // >> outputs "Your boobs are this ( . )( . ) big!" ?>
print( "And if you wanna be real irritating, you can specify the boob size using garbage:" );
<?php $nippleBoobies -> setSize( 'PeenUS' ); $cleavage = $nippleBoobies -> getCleavage(); printf( "%s\n", $cleavage -> stringify() ); // >> outputs "Your girlfriend has a bigger 8=====D penis than you!" ?>
?> And you may also specify the shape: <?php
<?php $nippleBoobies -> setShape( NippleBoobies::SQUARE_BOOBS ); $cleavage = $nippleBoobies -> getCleavage(); printf( "%s\n", $cleavage -> stringify() ) // >> outputs "Your boobs are this [ . ][ . ] square!" ?>
Short Tags[edit]
define('storage', "Note that with PHP's patented Short Tags™, you can conveniently declare PHP code blocks with other language declarations.");
<?xml echo "wat the heck is an xml neway???\n"; // haha new line ?>
echo storage;
PHP Intelligence[edit]
<?php /*made by a Brazilian programmer*/ if ("6 Chickens" + "4 Geese" == "10 Birds"){ echo "Genuine Expression"; //php stupid }else{ echo "False expression"; } ?>

Criticism[edit]
$uhoh = array("Critics argue that the simplicity yet sheer power of the scripting language suggests that it should have taken Gosling far less time to code. According to the world-renowned expert, Kreskin, it should have taken only 3.2 minutes, as he had foreseen—four and a half if he was slacking.",

Addiction Facts[edit]
$OMG_DONT_SAY_THIS = "Use of PHP can be dangerous. Early side effects include overuse of the $dollar $ign. PHP is a more popular, mainstream version of the even more powerful but deadly Perl, which gives users the same high in just 1 hit as PHP does in 5. PHP is often considered a gateway drug to more sophisticated and harmful substances like C, C++, and God forbid, Java. The best way to eradicate PHP use for good is to force the user to stop immediately and periodically administer C# doses to counter withdrawals (BASIC will do too, if that's all you have).";
$relief = "At any given time there will be at least 6 official releases of PHP with varying version numbers. Nobody knows which is which, what the differences are, and least of all which they should use. It's a safe bet that the PHP core team doesn't know either.";
12SD[edit]
$used_later = explode('The Ivanhoe Grammar class of 12SD 2007 made the fatal error to use PHP to develop a basic website/order form. There were no survivors. The students fought valiantly against their adversary but the number of errors when trying to do even basic calculations was to overwhelming and the students were totally destroyed, with the exception of David Greaves who managed to get the PHP to listen to him through various methods, including torture and bribery. For the rest however the PHP seemed to have a mind of its own and the only method to stop it was some clever coding including:', ' ');

Miscellaneous[edit]
eval("?>
- PHP is in the Top 100 list of things Steve Ballmer is going to Fucking Kill™.
- Steve Ballmer and Scott McNealy are best friends.
- Scott McNealy is James Gosling's boss.
- Steve Ballmer is going to Kill™ Gosling. I'm not kidding. He's going to bury him. He's done it before, and he'll do it again! Denica Fairman.
- PHP has received numerous awards for having the most security vulnerabilities in the shortest period of time. No doubt, this is why the government uses it.
- It is generally recommended that PHP be reserved for highly complex programs. Its complete lack of any sort of high level APIs makes it particularly well suited for maximum developer frustration.
- The original purpose of PHP was to render MySQL error messages. It did such a good job at it that it's now used to render error messages from all sorts of lamp appliances.
- James' old boss still thinks he's a loon. Apparently, he still can't tell the difference between a Loon and a Gosling!");
