ahhh... sorry.
i thought the history of PHP was a bunch of perl scripts
that were used to keep track of website statistics or
somethign.... guess i was wrong.
but since you replied, can i ask what influenced you most
when developing PHP?
personally, i see perl influence everywhere in PHP,
but maybe i'm just not familiar enough with C
to recognize a lot of C influence.
