Recursive acronyms are a thing
Eg.
GNU: GNU's Not UNIX
WINE: WINE Is Not an Emulator -
mundo0349116yWhat is wrong with (1+1) . 2 = "22"?
You are concatenating, did you expect something else? -
Yup. It probably would be named Hypertext Processor, but HP was already taken and recursive acronyms are a cool, I guess.
Also, "dot" in PHP is the concatenation operator, so you are summing 1 to 1 and concatenating a 2 to the result, giving you a "22" string. PHP is weakly typed, you know.

It stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor? The definition of itself is a stack overflow?
