IIRC originally "Personal Home Pages".  It's a scripting language.

See http://www.php.net./

It's evolved a lot since its "Personal Home Pages" origin.  The current
"official" expansion appears to be "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" (which
is a recursive acronym).

It's got nothing much to do with perl, although some of the syntax is
the same.

There is a version for Windows, which ought to work on Windows 95 AFAIK.
There's almost certainly not a 16-bit version though -- 16-bit Windows
is _very_ old (7-8 years now), and not much is still supporting it.
