[edit] citation to story of PHP needs fixing?

The page about the story of PHP as being moved or removed from Zend server. I leave it for the moment, maybe someone else can find the new location. ciao --Balubino 18:21, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Danish-Canadian?

What "Danish-Canadian" is supposed to mean? He lives in Canada but his parents are Danish? One of his parents is Danish, the other - Canadian? Please make it more clear. --Daggerstab 09:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BASc?

It wasn't immediately clear to me what this meant, and the context it's used in baffles me. 'Bachelor of Arts and Science in Systems Design Engineering' seems like it could have multiple meanings. WP:MOSDEF? --MaXiMiUS 18:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

See BASc - it's a "Bachelor of Applied Science". --72.142.208.174 02:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New image of Lerdorf

I asked for permission from Lerdorf to use the picture of himself in the wikipedia article and got this reply:

ok by me

[edit] Computer scientist?

Can Lerdorf be accurately described as a computer scientist, as opposed to a programmer or a software engineer? The article doesn't describe any contributions made by Lerdorf to the computer science literature, for example. Neilc (talk) 07:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
