Not only is Boots using the bad practice of showing detailed exceptions in production, they're also deploying builds made from one of their developer's computers instead of a CI/CD server.
I guess this also means they do manual deployments which is probably a long multi-step process with multiple steps each of which is opportunity for the poor human involved to make a mistake.

That is not PHP. Looks more like something from Microslop-land...

While I think you're very likely correct that it's a developer's machine being used to build the project, that's not necessarily the case. The build system could be running as a system account named something like
BuildMachinethat's configured to run the project build under its home directory. There are a few pixels bleeding out below the red redaction, but not quite enough to make an educated guess on the actual username there.Admin
The image from The Register would've been much better if the duplicates had been highlighted, rather than us all having to play a game of spot the difference.

Above the image it says "PII of the developer have been removed to protect the not so innocent", if it was something harmless like "BuildMachine" it wouldn't have had to be hidden.

That's not PHP, it's ASP.NET. Unless that was the joke.
