phpBB = PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor Bulletin Board
(Yes, I know PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a very strange abbreviation, don't blame me, blame the people who make PHP...

PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. This confuses many people because the first word of the acronym is the acronym. This type of acronym is called a recursive acronym. The curious can visit
Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing for more information on recursive acronyms.
