If it contains vowel sounds (FAQ, the 'my' part of mySQL) you pronounce it. If it doesn't, you spell it out (PHP, the SQL part of mySQL). Any other way is evil and will result in having Draegonis sent to your house.

/me places a big smelly trout on standby for trout slappaing for anyone pronouncing SQL, or PHP as words, and not saying each letter :D ;)

It's like mysql. Do you say Miskl or Migh Ess-Queue-El? Obviously, it is Migh Ess-Queue-El.
I've always heard mai-see-queue-ell (my sequel) and PHP. Funny enough, most M$ acros aren't pronounced much, such as ADO or ASP. Perhaps, on the latter, Microsnot (where do you want to blow today?) doesn't want the association with a snake. And just try pronouncing XP. Exp?

M$ has (as far as I know) trademarked Sequel from its MSSQL Server.
