Yes, but you really don’t want to know. Neither is very meaningful. Perl stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language. PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor. So replacing the “PHP” that is in the definition of PHP, we conclude that it stands for PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor: Hypertext Pre-processor. Isn’t recursion wonderful. [Second thoughts: further research revealed that PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page. So it is not so recursive after all, but also not very discriptive any more.] Now aren’t you sorry you asked.
