What Does PHP Stand For?

PHP stands for Hypertext Pre-Processor.

Well it doest get abbreviated to HPP instead of PHP, but well this is one doubt if anybody knows the history of PHP, then they might as well tell me too why did HPP become PHP?

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP for the full story.

I thought it was Pre Hypertext Processor but no its just a
Recursive_initialism.
