Why PHP is a recursive acronym?, I know that before was called Personal Home Page, I now is Hypertext PreProcessor, but why is recursive?, I person told me that it could be wroten as Pre Hypertxt Processor, thanks.PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". It's called a recursive acronym because it uses itself in its definition. Another example: GNU, for "GNU's Not Unix". Larry
