q> Hello !
q>
q> I tell a lot of people that php is great and good and fast
q> and effizent
q> to make a web-site. All that stuff. The next question I
q> always get is:
q> "Okay, what does 'PHP' mean exactly ?". Even
q> "non-computer-people" know
q> that HTML means "HyperText Markup Language".
q> But what the hell does PHP mean ? ;-)
q>
q>
q> The manual (http://www.php.net/manual/preface.php) says:
q>
q> PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor"
q>
q> which seems a bit stupid, since "Hypertext Preprocessor"
q> doesn't start
q> with a P ;-) Or is it a kind of a (funny ? nonsense ?
q> intelligent ?)
q> rekursion that PHP really stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor" ?
q>
q> A book I got through my fingers says:
q> PHP means "Personal Home Page", which sounds good, too.
q>
q> A lot of people try to make something like "Pretty Hypertext
q> Preprocessor" or something like that.
q>
q> So.... what should I tell people who ask me ? ;-))
