The one that is easiest to explain to clients is
'Professional Hypertext Preprocessor'
They don't get confused with the recursiveness of
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, and it has the word "professional" in it. The
recursiveness, like GNU meaning 'GNU's Not Unix' (or so I've heard) would
drive them batty.
"This statement is false" - they just wouldn't get it.
On the naming thing - perhaps if it was EHP for "Enterprise Hypertext
Preprocessor" more PHBs would give it their blessing. After all, it would
say 'enterprise', so it MUST be good, right? ;)
