Two more advantages of using shell_exec():
- you can override/mock shell_exec() in a namespace. You cannot do that
with the "backtick operator".
- in IDEs like PHPStorm, you can ctrl-click on the function name
"shell_exec" to check what it does: see what the return value is, see a
description, click the link to the manual. You can easily search for
"other usages" (right-click "Find Usages"). You cannot do that with the
"backtick operator".
