Nataliia's Code for Read File:

File found!
File is readable -- reading the file.

Fun, Rapid-Fire Facts About the PHP Programming Language

PHP comes with a variety of interesting tidbits of information and background stories. To name just a couple:

The original mascot for PHP was a cheerful blue elephant.
The scripting language actually has no officially documented specifications.
PHP originally stood for “Personal Home Page.” Why? Rasmus Lerdorf, its creator, originally created the language for personal web development.
Today, however, PHP stands for “Hypertext Preprocessor”—a testament to its growing and widespread use cases.
