I'm writing an article where I'm going to explain what PHP is in a short sentence. PHP once meant Personal Home Page, right?
PHP, originally an anacronym for "Personal Home Page", is a textual, "general-purpose scripting language" (www.PHP.net) designed to collect and process data between HTML pages and the Internet. Any objections? There was an article someplace about Rasmus Lerdorf calling it such, in the beginning. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/history.php) (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") �� This is the general group. It is a general question? :) -- John Taylor-Johnston ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If it's not Open Source, it's Murphy's Law." �v� Bibliography of Comparative Studies in Canadian, Qu�bec and Foreign Literatures /(_)\ Universit� de Sherbrooke ^ ^ http://compcanlit.ca/ T: 819.569.2064 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
