PHP

PHP is a server side scripting language primarily developed and used by the open source community. It is frequently used in conjunction with Linux, Apache, and MySQL, as part of a LAMP set up.

According to their history, the phrase originally stood for "Personal HomePage", and now stands for "Hypertext Processor".

There is a hidden history, though. The initial uses of the language were for serving porn pages, and later, developing an online booking and tracking system for 'escorts'.

As a result, the initial developers began referring to the language as "Pimps, Hoes and Playaz".

"Ugh, I have to write this stupid blog software for this client who doesn't want to use an existing solution."

"Use PHP."
