A lot of people in techny internet spaces online are talking about a PHP embargo. What does that mean and what’s going on?

    Yep. PHP stands for Perl Home Page. Perl is awful to debug and maintain.

        I stand corrected:

        PHP was originally an abbreviation of “Personal Home Page”, but it now stands for the recursive backronym “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”

        P.S.: “One of these two statements *is correct.”
