PHP is a server-side programming language which is used to serve dynamic content on the web. It is short for Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP is sometimes (earlier) called "Personal Home Page" or sometimes "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".
As you can see in the later form 'PHP' word is included in full form itself, hence it's sometimes called recursive acronym. But it is said that in the second full form. PHP -> "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", PHP stands for the "Personal Home Page" thus making it logical. :)
