I hope this was just a simple example, and on your real server, you have
some checks in the php code, so people can't just upload files and overwrite
whatever they want... (imagine a hacker overwriting index.html with one that
downloads some spyware into visitors computers, or steals peoples passwords,
or overwrites every single file on your server, etc)
