I would like to know if it's possible to run a executable file (through any technology; PHP, JS, HTML...) on the web server, and render the image on the client.
I would like to do that to not share the exe file, but just let the client see what how the programm looks like without having him to download it. Also, using that way it won't affect the client PC.
It is possible to run application on server side and display result of application to client [1]. However, if your application uses GUI it might be difficult and required complex solution.
What if you:
Display screenshots of application
Let user book some online meeting where you would present the application through skype with shared desktop
Have public server where application would be installed and user could request username/password to server and try it itself (think about security!)

I have to test my webhook response. So i create a server using firebase. but don't know how to run a php file inside that server to check my webhook response. Anyone knows?
You don't understand what firebase is, based on your question. Firebase is not a VM that hosts server side code written in a server side language like php. It is a "Platform as a service" system that lets you piece together the server using their components.
In short firebase is used in place of a server with server side code. It doesn't seem appropriate to test a web hook you have on a server.
You should just be able to use curl, or a REST testing tool like Postman or any of a gazillion different web testing tools for this.
For PHP specifically here are is a very up to date article on php based web testing tools.

How this web programming works?
For example, we have a Linux application running on a server i.e “bind”.
How do we create a Web GUI to manage that bind server?
For example, if we add a zone through the GUI, that zone should be registered in the bind’s config file. I just want to how stuff works. How connection works, How an apache server can make modifications to application’s config file?
Any hints would be really appreciated.
php can natively work with files on the file system so long as the user running service thread has permissions to the file you want to change. It's pretty easy to do.
$myFile = "/var/config.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile,'w');
A better way for two applications to interact is through a database though. Having the web application writing to a config table that the console app reads and uses.

I was thinking is there a method to gain access to a client PC's SQL database? I am creating a web portal for our LAN clients and I will need to manipulate data on the client's database.
No. you cannot do this with PHP. Php runs on the server.
You cannot do this with javascript in the browser as it is not allowed access to the client pc.
You may be able to write a chrome or firefox plugin that will have access to the host pc and then write code to interact with it.
Or just write an application for your clients to install that comunicates with your app on the php server.

I've made an android app that let you save some data locally (for example: photos). Now i would like to create a web service that will automatically backup the data and later let the user to check them on a web application (eventually coded with PHP).
I know PHP for server side, and some python. Should i create a Rest-full api with php using a cms like described here or should i use Google Cloud Platform? Which is more convenient?
The application should:
Authenticate the user,
Automatically backup the data,
Let the user
access the data on a web application
Personally I find Parse to be really useful, powerful and affordable. In the scope of developing apps for local businesses we still haven't paid a dime and it has saved us a ton of development time. www.parse.com

I am doing a project on android application developement i need to know hpw does 3 thish work together what are their task when working togeather in as simple language as possible I want it in words so that even a layman would catch it easily!
Something as simple as that
HTTP-client (browser) <--> HTTP server (apache) <--> PHP interpreter <--> Postgres
Client sends request
Apache resends it to PHP
PHP queries PG, gets data, renders it as HTML (or JSON) and returns it to Apache
while Apache sends the response to client
Client renders nicely looking page
