I'm a Senior DevOps Architect and publish most of my projects as open source. I have a wife, a son and a real life in Hamm, Germany. In my part-time I enjoy making games, music and acting. (He/him)
Then wouldn't it technically stand for ((Personal home page) Hypertext Preprocessor) or PersonalhomepageHypertextPreprocessor?
It seems strange for the first P in PHP to stand for PHP.

Doesn't php stand for "php hypertext preprocessor"?
That's TRUE.
I believe it was first called "Personal Home Page" (hence PHP) but later it was renamed to "Hypertext Preprocessor"

It's a recursive acronym. Like GNU (GNU's not Unix)
Nerds! 🤷🏽
It was originally called Personal Home Page, but as it grew larger they decided to change it to Php Hypertext Preprocessor.
