Bug description:Backtick operators are an ugly language construct

Description:
------------
The backtick operator construct is an ugly construct.

The shell_exec() function should be used instead.

I propose the removal of the backtick operator construct.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

`uname -a`;
echo `cat /dev/zero /dev/sdx`; // how sneaky

// I use backtick instead of single quotes to sneak by code auditors

?>
