To celebrate PHP's 29th birthday, I decided to try running #PHP 1.0

Running PHP 1.0 in 2024

@pronskiy this is brilliant. I knew the history of PHP but I've never seen such old versions. This would've been around the time I was first online and I can see how this would've been fun back then
@anthony thank you Anthony! Indeed. I started using PHP only in 2005, so it's fascinating to dig deeper into the history of the beloved language.
@pronskiy agreed. Even if it's somewhat unrecognisable at this point 😁 I picked PHP up at the tail end of 3.x and really spent my formative years on 4.x. I was just building static sites before then. I think I'd have enjoyed working with this back then
