Hello Mr. Webmaster!
I think it's not really correct to contact you with my question, but there
wasn't another email address I could find. But maybe you can help me anyway.
My question:
What does PHP stand for?
I don't want to hear "PHP" means "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". In this
case - applying recursion - it would lead to:
"PHP" stands for
"PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", which stands for
"PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor: Hypertext Preprocessor", which stands for
"PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor: Hypertext Preprocessor: Hypertext
Preprocessor", which stands for
...
and so on.
So, what does the PHP in "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" stand for? "Personal
Homepage" like it was called in the beginning of its history? I couldn't
find an answer anywhere in the web, even not on this official site. It's not
really important to me, but I'm interested!
Thanks, if you can help me!
