Several people have added notes here saying that collecting standard error is as simple as adding
2>&1 to the end of your command. In most cases, yes, this works fine. However, when working
with subshells (including running shell scripts), this does NOT seem to work. I do not know why. If
you're finding that shell_exec() never exists, this could be why.
