Zend (company)

The company was founded in 1999, and it was acquired in 2019 as part of Perforce's acquisition of Zend's parent, Rogue Wave Software.[citation needed] In 1997, Gutmans and Suraski rewrote the parser of PHP-FI, originally written by Lerdorf, resulting in PHP 3.[4] In February 2009, Zend's co-founder Andi Gutmans was appointed as CEO, after serving as the company's VP of research and development.[1] In April, Perforce's Zend Framework was spun off as a separate project to the Linux Foundation, and was renamed Laminas.[10] The company also develops a Zend Server Community Edition, supporting Linux, Windows, iSeries i5/OS, and Mac OS X, and available as a paid upgrade.
