I still think the old mean Personal Home Pages is best.

Personal things can also change the world.

Choose Huge name is not style of linux and www, it’s style of slow enterprise software style.

Hi,

 

The recursive acronym for the name PHP is problematic, in terms of logic and finiteness. It can never be written out in full, in a finite time nor in a finite manner. For example to expand it, one would end up with an infinte sequence as follows:

 

  PHP, PHP Hypertext Processor, PHP Hypertext Processor Hypertext Processor, PHP Hypertext Processor Hypertext Processor Hypertext Processor, ...

 

How would the community feel about redefining the acronym for PHP? My personal proposal for the name PHP is: "Powerful Hypertext Processor".
