Apparently lots of websites were using PersonalHomePage servers as if we were in antique clown world show when people run random .EXE files on the spot

PHP is better than whatever nodeJS container postmodernist bullshit you're "supposed" to use.
OP
Unlike modern frameworks in Node.js, Python, or Go—which use unified routing engines and run as a continuous application memory process—traditional PHP servers map URLs directly to files on the disk.
• If a server is misconfigured and a user can upload a file (like an avatar) into a public directory, they might be able to upload a .php web shell and execute it simply by navigating to its URL, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
• Because PHP files are interpreted from plaintext on the server rather than compiled into binary executables, a local file inclusion vulnerability or a server misconfiguration instantly leaks the raw source code, including database credentials.
