The solution for this was to use self hosted sites to make the early 2000’s versions of safari and chrome usefull again, but it could also be usefull on other devices
210gb of a portion of the internet

The following command will add a repository on the pi, enabling you to use apt to grab whatever php modules you need
wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | apt-key add – echo “deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
On the pi zero and pi1 A and B this won’t work, you will need to compile php from source as I couldn’t find a package for ARMv6 architecture

Do not host these on the internet. This is for internal use only due to vulnerabilities in old software versions
