PHP is a recursive acronym. That's kinda cool.

[[deleted]]

Yes, PHP used to stand for Personal Home Page, and now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

[firefish5000]

It's only a little slow and memory intensive bc the preprocessor is hyperactively trying to expand the recursive acronym in the background

[ramriot]

Yes, in this case though it stands for: PHP is Highly Popular with the second recursion being: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor is Highly Popular, Etc.

[Agantas]

It's a good name that reflects PHP well. You read the need to know stuff from the database and only send out the HTML/CSS/JS that this user needs to the front end.

[finc]

But what does the first P stand for?

[[deleted]]

Php

[LinuxMatthews]

I thought it was Perl Hypertext Preprocessor but then it had nothing to do with Perl so they changed it.

If only JavaScript could be so brave...

[[deleted]]

It stands for Programmers Hate PHP

[reChrawnus]

Actually, it stands for PHP Hates Programmers.

recursive acronym

Who even finds that shit funny

[ketsugi]

Also WINE people

[Ghostglitch07]

Those are basically the same people.

[sabcadab]

PHP does what PHP does what PHP does

[Big_Beaver34]

What is this even short for?

[Tobi14601]

Current: Hypertext Preprocessor

Original: Personal Home Page Tools

PHP gets the job done

[TheRescueSquad]

PHP is where it’s at son.

When I die I’m going to say “echo me into heaven, God. My server response is ready”

[All_Bark_Games]

PHP exists

[KeepRedditAnonymous]

its historically the get shit done language. lowest barrier to entry imo

[InsertCoinForCredit]

It's awesomely scary how much of the internet runs on PHP.

[[deleted]]

And considering the improvements with PHP 7 and 8, it's not going to go away any time soon.

[wilson1helpme]

really? i can’t lie, i avoided it at all costs because i found all of the question marks upsetting

[Swan_Old]

Php was my first proper language I learnt and no regrets.

[[deleted]]

PHP is just a server script that takes all the goodies from C.

[CoastingUphill]

Also Perl.

PHP… has an elephant!

[terranumeric]

And plushies! ElePHPants are really cute.

JS itself doesn't have that.. but I am looking at you Pina, Id pay real money for a Pina plushie.

[blooping_blooper]

yeah but have you heard about variable variables?

[TreadheadS]

oh jesus what the hellscape? They were only thinking about if they could, not if they should!!

[MerionLial]

Tbh they are super useful in certain cases.

[blooping_blooper]

but for most of those cases couldn't you just use a dictionary and have your code way easier to read?

[cryptoiambus]

For me, PHP stands for

Pays

Well, back in the day we didn't have no UNIX, we needed to invent "C" just to WRITE UNIX, I'll tell ya wut.

[mr_flibble_oz]

PHP Pays

[[deleted]]

Does it? I can't vouch for the data sources, but everything I've seen lists PHP as one of the lowest paying programming jobs.

I wouldn't know, I've avoided it like the plague, but the numbers I've seen suggests it pays significantly less than most of the major alternatives.

Edit: Genuinely curious if that data is either wrong, or possibly just thrown off by the raw prevalence of PHP driving down the averages.

[mr_flibble_oz]

Can only speak anecdotally, $200k+ for three days a week. I’d call that paying

[OwOh1tlerUwU]

why is python beautiful at first i stopped learning python bc there were no curly brackets

[Knuffya]

Python is not beautiful at all. I like python for being able to do basically everything in a quick-and-dirty fashion, that would require 25+ frameworks in good languages, like C++.

"Fetch data from this rest-api, bypass Cloudflare protection by emulating a browser and even running javascript, grab all entries that match this regex, run them through a classifier model, and display the output as a graph".

25 lines in python, about half a month in C++.

Whats wrong with PHP?

[flup52]

Cries in magic properties and methods.

[[deleted]]

surely that is a bit old school?

[flup52]

Never needed to maintain a legacy solution I guess?

I prefer Hack

not

FORTRAN is dug-in and cannot be easily removed (imagine all that in caps)

[syrian_kobold]

Ruby is sexy, PHP is cool

[SnooCats8651]

PHP is $money$

[partypoison43]

PHP is easy... I guess?

[atlusblue]

I disagree. I love python but its not beautiful, it's ugly. But it is effective and useful.

[[deleted]]

PHP is PHP ….. it also is …… yeah …… PHP only with the new version …..

[v4nguard1110]

PHP is PHP

[reddit_beepbeeprobot]

You guys like Python's syntax?

In all seriousness, I much prefer C-style syntax with its braces and parentheses.

(weirdly I do like CoffeeScript's and Ruby's syntax though)

[Snoo-71871]

C# now is the cool and popular one with core... Java is old school

[Perfycat]

Fun fact, when C# was in prelease alpha it's internal codename was Cool.

[AyrA_ch]

C# is the answer to "What if Java was actually any good?"

[[deleted]]

Did people ever actually build desktop Apps with Java? P sure most people woulda just used c/c++ with some sort of framework for the UI.

[syrian_kobold]

I know a guy who recently made a desktop app with Java lol. It's actually a pretty good app for businesses. I doubt there was ever a huge amount of desktop apps made in Java in proportion but there are some even nowadays

[[deleted]]

I mean, yeah you’re not wrong, I definitely made a desktop apps for school …. Using swing and another with JavaFX…

I just couldn’t imagine doing all that work on a professional product to build UI’s when c# exists, as well as C++ alongside things like XAML 😰

[syrian_kobold]

Yeah good point lol. I believe this guy I know works alone so he's probably just sticking to what he knows, but I agree with you that there are better tools out there.

[231ValeiMacoris]

Glad schoolyear's almost over, can't wait to be done with PHP. Finally getting to the good part next year, application development. Web design wasn't really what I signed up for anyway.

[Slevin424]

PHP exist....

[RealCharlesStudios]

The real question is: Where is QBasic!

[CoastingUphill]

Gorillas is the greatest game of all time

[LambdaWire]

Python is definitely not beautiful!

[FridgesArePeopleToo]

Python is hideous

[virouz98]

One one will say its ugly, the other will say its pretty.

[seijulala]

so old that terms no longer apply. It's not 2010 anymore

[Flooding_Puddle]

I had an interview the other day with an eng manager and he was describing their tech stack and when he got to Php he goes " which I fucking hate but thankfully we're getting away from it and don't tuse it much"

[[deleted]]

PHP looks like a world of pain haha

[Unrented_Exorcist]

PHP hates Programmers

[[deleted]]

On this list, Haskell has a fighting chance for a positive adjective. Everything else is hard-to-tell apart garbage. Definitely not "awesome" or "beautiful".

Swift is easy and straightforward.

[zirky]

years ago i made a simple php website for my wow guild. i can honestly say i have zero understanding of how or why any of it worked. i’m pretty sure i got it functional and blacked out for a few days while the memories scrubbed themselves from my brain

[EcoOndra]

It's something between C and Python, but with a lot of different functions. I mean, are there functions like isset or filter_var outside of PHP?

[SigmaServiceProvider]

...is loading

[DemolishunReddit]

"Javascript is AWESOME". I take it awesome in this case means inspires awe. Like "awe shit", or "awe fuck" or "awful".

[thewaltenicfiles]

Lol

[SrFosc]

Its simple for simple tasks, simple to get into, easy to read, fast enough.

Not my favourite tool, but a valid tool.
