It used to be "Personal Home Page" before Mr. mysql_real_escape_string( $str ) himself decided to change it to a recursive backronym

Yeah, that's definitely better than the recursive backronym. It's still not good though! Apparently the PHP people just aren't great at naming their language, many such cases!

The language, the standard library functions, the fucking core platform version numbering system, and so on and so forth zizek-theory

It's like I always tell the junior devs -- there are only two hard things about programming: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.
