Hello everyone,
I am writing a paper for a computer science course I'm taking at the University of Toronto. I am to write a 1,100, fairly technical essay. I have chosen to profile PHP and trace it's development. I roughly know how it went (PHP/FI -> PHP/FI 2.0 -> PHP3 -> PHP4 -> PHP5). I know the main differences between the versions. However, I ge tthe feeling that it isn't enough. Can someone point me to a credible souce(s) that have good technical (as oppossed to social commentary) profiles of php? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Yeah, I read that...I also read this: http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/read.php/2_1_2
I am looking for something that perhaps will tell me new features that were added between versions (without me digging through long CHANGELOG files of PHP), technical differences, why there were huge speed increases between PHP3 and PHP4 (aside from the fact that "Zend engine was introduced"...etc.
Thanks.
