PHP Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons

When i look into the preview i have this error message.

And after that the code of the challenge appear.

It seems that my code made an error althought it's correct and i can go to the next task.

I believe Team Treehouse uses shell_exec() function to isolate the code you type into their 'workspace/console/shell' to run your applications/programs.

As i rarely go the the preview before write my code i realised that the error is already there, i mean before i write code. It's for the different tasks of 'Creating the Menu and Footer' in' build a simple application'. So i guess this problem don't come from my code !

@Martin -> It's not a problem from my code because the error message is there without any code that i wrote.

@Chris - > ok so this is a bug ?

Not a bug per say but an oversight in the challenge(s) as there is no need for anything to be executing shell_exec as that is a far more advanced function that Treehouse don't teach.
