Web Design Nostalgia - PHP
I've been digging thru old backups of mine, and have started coming across a LARGE trove of php sites. I took a break from web design from about 2007 - 2017 (I started coding websites around 1997), a few chunks of wordpress and other small bits here and there to not become completely irrelevant during that time were thrown in. Now that I'm coding in NodeJS and ditched Apache and PHP, I needed something to test all these various sites quickly, enter the most amazing code I've ever come across,... Playable in any directory you can setup a quick php webserver, DIRECTLY IN PHP!!! This seems like some sort of magic.. its incredible!
And here is the magic code:
php -S localhost:8080
Do this in any directory, and PHP will setup a simple php enabled webserver in the current folder.
I've only tested this on Linux, so OSX / Windows results may vary. I also read that this is for development servers only, obviously this isnt nodejs and the php application isn't intended to be ran at scale.
this is an old sn0ndotcom layout from 2003... going to be having some fun writing nodejs apps for some of these old websites, working on a portfolio. woot woot.

fun thing about this website from the old AIM days, it had an aim status (reason the screenshot shows as still loading bigoscar.aol.com) which showed if i was online or off and when clicked opened a chat with me.
this was a fun layout to design, inspired by the windows xp loading screen obviously. lol
