PHP is a web programming language launched in 1995 by Greenland programmer Rasmus Lerdorf. It started as a simple tool for development of personal websites and has established itself as one of the core web programming languages based on efficiency specialized in web page development including easy accessibility and server interworking.

However, due to its low accessibility and high degree of freedom, PHP has been recognized as a language inducing numerous security problems and low-level programming quality. Thus, ways for its sustainable development have been continuously sought mainly by global IT companies such as JetBrains, Laravel, and Zend, and accordingly ‘PHP Foundation’ was established in November this year to raise funds required for the construction of communities for realizing the sustainable development and advancement of PHP. The key member JetBrains agreed to contribute $100,000 per year, and OP.GG also agreed to join the contribution of $10,000 per year. Any individual or company can participate in this contribution, and so far, a total of 1,061 companies and individuals around the world got on board. OP.GG has entered the 4th largest sponsorship deal in the world.
