Which does not explain the php - stands for Personal Home Page, IIRC - there is an interview with Rasmus where he tells the whole story. Doesn't sound that good these days, but this is where it comes from: he invented it for personal use on his own homepage, to find out who looks at his resume. And I think it is really cute and significant for the whole open source movement - just like Apache comes from a patchy server. He continues that people approached him to get the code, whence they found bugs he didn't run across and had ideays he'd never have.
