but how does it matter anyways?

you are supposed to use things like
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php when you execute
binaries like ffmpeg

and yes, ignore the other idiot, execute wahter application from PHP is
fine as long as you restrict it to an instacne for special purpose while
passthru and freinds should be diabled on random webservers

not because PHP is insecure but because the power of shell commands and
power always brings responsibility
