Yeah I totally agree that phastcache sounds unprofessional, and a lot like phat. I liked T-cache, but what about something like P-cache. PHP Op Code Cache (PHP OCC) is also a legitimate name. Often times the simplest name is the best, even if it isn't catchy.

I like PHP OCC, it can be interpreted as PHP Op Code Compiler if one is more interested of the encoding functionality. Works for caching too, as PHP Op Code Cache.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"M" (shortened from "MM")
"A" (Accelerator for PHP)
"C" (Cache for PHP bytecode)
"H" (... anyone? This is a throwaway letter for me so far ...)
"3" (Turck MMCache is on version 2 now, so '3' marks the new lease on life, without losing track of the fact that we're really talking about a 3rd phase of the Turck MMCache codebase.)
Finally, "Mach3 for PHP" has a nice little ring to it. :)
Thoughts?

I think the name should be decided by the person or persons that takes over the coding of this project. Sound fair? Maybe that will get someone to release new versions.

Zend does not own PHP, PHP is an open source project sponsered by Zend and the current PHP engine is created and maintained by Zend. In the future the PHP project could decide to use a different engine (not likely but also not impossible).

There have been many great suggestions, I also agree with the comment that the project staff should make the final decision but feel the community should be very involved.
I particularly like PHP T-Cache (Both for the Turbo and the Turck) and also PHP OCC.

-1 for T-Cache. Deutsche Telekom has some sort of monopoly on the letter T. They already have T-Mobile, T-Systems, T-Com, T-Net and probably some more trademarks in this style registered. Maybe they come up with T-Cache as a trademark for internet caching (as they are a provider, too).
And remember, if you write the letter T, DO NOT USE MAGENTA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES :)
No for real, they're suing a company for using the letter T stand-alone in their logo, even though it's white on red. Don't challenge fate.

Hi all.
I'm glad to see that this project will live on--my thanks to the many volounteers who will make this happen and of course, to Dmitry for donating the project to begin with.
My suggestion for a name: Turcache.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi all! How about ZEBRA cache? Guess the abbreviation... :) ! Unfortunately there is collission in this name with GNU Zebra routing. :( The name MMCache is the best anyway.

An "On Hold" domains usually means that the registration has expired but the Registrar has put a look on it to stop somebody else from hijacking the domain name.
Well the TC ones are still available.

My vote would be to just leave the name as mmcache. It's not really a Turck product, so you can drop that, but the configure parameter has always been --enable-mmcache , so why not leave it with a recognizable name? It doesn't matter if it uses the mm lib anymore or not. Come up with a new meaning for 'mm'.

I suggest combining forces with PHP Accelerator by combining communities, websites, and projects.
I'm noticing that the mmcache and PHP Accelerator projects and communities are struggling for critical mass needed to sustain themselves. I'm suggesting to both groups the possibility of combining ..
No offense meant to any developers. Both products have many good attributes, but without critical mass of both users and developers the products don't keep up with changes and lack the vibrant interflow found in forums of popular open-source projects like phpbb and forums.gentoo.org.

I like the whole recursive acronym idea, always reminds you of the roots of OS!
How about simple ideas such as:
o TNT (TNT's Not Turck)
o ANA (ANA's Not an Accelerator)
o ANAE (ANAE's Not an Acceleration Engine)
More commercial-sounding names such as "Advanced Caching Engine - ACE" or "pCache" etc may appeal more to corporate users (everyone likes shiny wapping paper...)

So how about a vote on the new name? Let's keep this moving forward!

I like PHP OCC, it can be interpreted as PHP Op Code Compiler if one is more interested of the encoding functionality. Works for caching too, as PHP Op Code Cache.

A loose acronym, that I came to by thinking of:
"M" (shortened from "MM")
"A" (Accelerator for PHP)
"C" (Cache for PHP bytecode)
"H" (... anyone? This is a throwaway letter for me so far ...)
"3" (Turck MMCache is on version 2 now, so '3' marks the new lease on life, without losing track of the fact that we're really talking about a 3rd phase of the Turck MMCache codebase.)
Finally, "Mach3 for PHP" has a nice little ring to it. :)

Huh? Deutsche Telekom is not going to sue a GPL project. There are no assets to sue.
Worst case, they politely ask to change name, and we say stuff it.
+1 PHP T-Cache

if we can't get sured then it's just called "Zend Killed" :(
Gotta give it a funky but yet descriptive name, just following techie jargon might confuse (although we're all programmers)
PHP-TC = PHP Turbo Cache (Op Code Cache)
PHP-SC = PHP Super Charger
I particularly like PHP-TC, just say it to yourself "PHP-TC" it just rolls off the togue and its also pretty funky :P
Turbo Op Code Cache
What about XLphp ?
I've found that most php-alike names are 'on-hold'.. Whatever that means ;)

MMCache is already a well-known name. No need to change, better find another meaning for MM. For example, My Memory Cache :)
Yes, change the name to Turck Cache.

I joined SourceForge specifically to contribute to this project today...
What about:
