Oh jeez, questions like this? Really?

PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". Try to wrap your brain around that.

It was first called Personal Home Page by programmer Rasmus Lerdorf while writing code to maintain his own "personal home page."
Later,some Isreali developers formed PHP 3, changing the acronym to the recursive "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor."
It's a lot like GNU in that the first letter actually stands for the acronym itself, Gnu's Not Unix
