Give thanks to PHP - An open letter of gratitude to PHP

Dear PHP,

PHP changed the way we develop web applications and influenced many developers and projects.

We want to thank Rasmus Lerdorf, the PHP group, PHP core developers, contributors, and all the people involved in making the PHP language and its ecosystem a better place for everyone.

Thank you so much for all that you have done and do.

Signed,
