Below is a standard list of tab definitions

...but I don't think any of yours are in there. My guess will be p means pinky, x means skipped / muted string and h could be 'hammer on' - tabulatures is not rocket science. the meaning may depede on the context - post the entire tab if you are still in doubt.

W - whole
H - half
Q - quarter
E - 8th
S - 16th
T - 32nd
X - 64th

/n - tremolo bar inverted dip
/n - tremolo bar return
