I am confused by the name chosen “Delphi for PHP”. I thought that Delphi was (only) a language and mixing Delphi and PHP in the same tool denomination looks confusing for me.

You’re not alone in your confusion, but in fact, Delphi (former Turbo Pascal) is a RAD environment that includes, among others, the Delphi programming language (former Object Pascal). There is a nice article at Wikipedia explaining this.
