er, PHP *is* an acronym, that when pronounced as a word sounds like "poop"
Acronyms that sound good pronounced as words (NASA, SCUBA, RADAR) are pronounced as words, acronyms
that don't (PVC, PHP, TMBG), aren't.

abbreviations are shorter forms of one word generally:
Abbr, Dr, St and have nothing to do with the construct "PHP"
Hopefully that clears up any misconceptions about whay "PHP" is linguistically :)
