I Built the Same App in ALL Versions of PHP (1995-2025)

Use promo code 'PhpStormwithLewis20' at checkout to SAVE 20% on an annual individual PhpStorm license: jb.gg/Check-out-PhpStorm (Valid until June 16, 2025).

Over 30 years ago, PHP was created as a simple tool to maintain Personal Home Pages. Today, it powers over 75% of the web. I decided to build the same application across ALL versions of PHP to see how it evolved... and if it deserves the hate it gets.
