And what if I send an HTML file to your list with php code included? You get
a security issue here.

Better way in my view is to write a wrapper script in php, that does the
graphics and such things, then pushes the web page. You get the wrapper to
work in lieu of the cgi by configuring Apache to do so (RewriteRule, or
Alias).
