So it's a shared host, possibly with a config that's disabled some things or
enabled other things. If "safe mode" is enabled, you can't use ``. I asked
for the output of phpinfo() earlier; that'd be a great place to start.

That error usually means a bad SSI directive, not anything to do with PHP.
Did you look at the error logs? Are any error logs available?
> Yet I do have other .php programs running and working fine
So it's something with that code. Does "php -l thatfile.php" return any
errors? That very useful command runs a syntax check on PHP code. I use that
all the time to make sure I haven't left a ; or ) off.
>> Apache with PHP enabled typically has 2 lines in its config file

It shouldn't be necessary to change that if other PHP code is working.
I would guess that your webhost has safe mode on, but I don't know for sure.
You won't be able to execute shell from PHP if that's the case. It'd be
possible to replicate what you want without using shell by using preg_match(),
naturally. This would require learning more PHP and using that instead of
shell though....
