Re: What means PHP ? ;-)

Yes PHP standing for officially "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is stupid as hell. Whats the PHP stand for in PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor? When people ask me whats PHP stand for I tell them this: PHP = Hypertext Preprocessor and if further exsplaination is requested or offered I exsplain that PHP use to mean Personal Home Page but thats was changed when when PHP became so much more. Thats my story and I'am sticking with it. :) Randall Goguen (aka Ranman) .........
