Over on Derick Rethans' weblog today, there's a wonderful "look back" at what PHP was all about back in 2004.

Hello! Here is this years look back, it takes a little more work then Zend's weeklies, and I can not say that it is 100% objective but it should give a fairly good overview of this years developments in PHP. Here we go...

He mentions things like:

• Releasing PHP 5 RC 1
• The first real talk of Apache 2 and threading
• The release of PHP 4.3.6
• The long awaited release of PHP 5
• and much more...

It's always fun to take a look back and see where we've all come from. It can only help us to look towards the future, to the rest of 2005, and think of what great things can really come of it...
