Why do you use php instead of p?

PHP, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", is a recursive acronym - something of a joke that programmers and other geek types (I use that term affectionately) like to use. PHP could just as well have been called XHP, JHP, ΣHP, ЖHP, and so on, without changing the recursive nature of the acronym.

The reason the authors of the language chose PHP is because its origin is from a piece of software called Personal Home Page Tools (PHP Tools). The modern definition and scripting language of PHP that we know today evolved from that, and the authors kept the acronym.
