Yeah, sorry if I didn’t make myself clear. There are various unofficial internal names for the
original PHP implementation including “Zend PHP”, and I think we should settle on one for
internal use. We can have it be the “nickname”, much like CPython is the nickname of the
original Python implementation.

“PHP.net PHP” isn’t the nicest of names. I think CPHP, analogous to CPython is maybe the best
of the available options.
