So Vanilla PHP = "Virgin" PHP.

I usually describe source codes that only use the core functions/features of a programming language without using any third-party external libraries as "virgin".

Like Virgin PHP, Virgin C++, Virgin C, Virgin C# .NET, Virgin Java etc.

To sum up by the comments:

MyMomSaysIamSpecial :

vanilla php is just PHP programming language itself.

aljo :

Vanilla means that without anything else. Vanilla PHP just means plan original PHP without any framework.

axiac :

As a general rule, the expression "vanilla " means that "" without any addition or customization. Never heard the expression used with "PHP". In this case, "Vanilla" doesn't mean anything; it is the name of the software. Check it out here: github.com/vanilla.
