    Well, PHP was once an abbreviation for Personal Home Page, but that changed over the years. Nowadays it is the abbreviation for "Php Hypertext Preprocessor," there is no-one however who will refer to PHP different than "PHP."

    I personally always loved that they changed it from Personal Home Page to PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. I have always been fascinated by recurrsive acronyms :D Truth is, defining PHP still doesn't tell you what PHP means because it's part of the acronym.

    I think he means this:
    <?php ?>
    instead of
    <? ?>

    Have a nice day ;)
