What is "php' stand for

[BornToSin]

wikipedia....:


PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994*[4] the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Development Team.[5] PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page*[4] but it now stands for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.[6]

PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 markup* or it can be used in combination with various web template systems* web content management systems and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web server software combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code* which may be any type of data* including images* with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical applications.[7]

The standard PHP interpreter* powered by the Zend Engine* is free software released under the PHP License. PHP has been widely ported and can be deployed on most web servers on almost every operating system and platform* free of charge.[8]

The PHP language evolved without a written formal specification or standard until 2014* leaving the canonical PHP interpreter as a de facto standard. Since 2014 work has gone on to create a formal PHP specification.[9]
