Incidentally, that's another question: some people like to make clear that the Zend Engine isn't actually the language implementation, it just *powers* the implementation. In which case, what *should* the implementation be called?
That’s actually an important question. I always tend to say “Zend PHP” here, but I’m a little bit uneasy about having Zend in the name. Perhaps “the PHP.net implementation”? “PHP Group implementation”? “PHP reference implementation”? We could take a leaf from Python’s book and call it CPHP :)
Or ZPHP? Implying the PHP implementation built on Zend, but not directly using the Zend trademark?
