As mentioned in this new article on the International PHP Magazine's website today, PHP has come in fourth (once again) in the TIOBE Programming Community index's rankings.

PHP stands at fourth place in the October 2006 edition of the TIOBE Programming Community index. Its position has jumped a notch since last month, while Java continues to hold the top spot.

In long-term trends, PHP shows a significant jump from October 2001 to February 2002. As the graph on TIOBE's web site indicates, PHP has been charting an uneven course, facing ups and just as many downs. However, PHP's position as of Feb 2006 is significantly higher than that of 2005.
