PHP Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in deeb0e9c-57b8-46e2-9110-9d6b13e643f2.php on line 23

I keep getting this error during the code challenges. How might I correct this error and get rid of the message. browser chrome. windows vista.

index.php 
<?php
$flavor = "cookie dough";
echo "<p>Your favorite flavor of ice cream is ";
echo $flavor;
echo ".</p>";
if ($flavor == "cookie dough"){ echo "Randy's favorite flavor is cookie dough, also!"; }

?>

Hey Eric,

If you're talking about when previewing, you can ignore that. I get it too. It's not because of something you're doing wrong, I think it is the way Treehouse handles previewing PHP.
