Re: [PHP] What does PHP stand for?
PHP originally stood for personal home pages. It was nothing more than a parser that interpreted a few macros to allow people to do extra things (like count visitors) on their homepage. PHP/FI or PHP2 was Personal Home Pages/Form Interpreter, and added form handling and mSQL to PHP. PHP3 was the release that was a full blown Scripting Language/Interpreter. With the release of PHP as more than a personal homepage toolkit it was renamed "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor" The first P actually stands for PHP, making this a recursive acronym (http://ase.isu.edu/ase01_07/ase01_07/bookcase/ref_sh/foldoc/30/91.htm) Sheridan Saint-Michel Website Administrator FoxJet, an ITW Company www.foxjet.com - Original Message - From: "Martín Marqués" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "John Meyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] What does PHP stand for? > On Mar 28 Ago 2001 19:52, John Meyer wrote: > > At 05:15 PM 8/28/01 +0228, you wrote: > > >It's actually a recursive acronym, like GNU: > > > > > > From the manual: > > > > > >"PHP, which stands for 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor', is an HTML-embedded > > >scripting language." > > > > > >J > > > > Am I making things up, or Did it stand for Perl Hypertext Preprocessor at > > one time? > > I always thought it meant Personal Home Page (isn't this right?) > > Saludos :-) > > -- > Porqué usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera, > si podés usar PostgreSQL? > - > Martín Marqués |[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Programador, Administrador, DBA | Centro de Telematica >Universidad Nacional > del Litoral > - > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] What does PHP stand for?
I believe that it was called Personal Home Page during version 2, and if I'm not mistaken, there was a contest (sorta) around the time 3 was released to find a new name.
