Just a general usage note. I had a very difficult time solving a problem with my script, when I accidentally put one of these backticks at the beginning of a line, like so:
[lots of code]
` $URL = "blah...";
[more code]
Since the backtick is right above the tab key, I probably just fat-fingered it while indenting the code.
What made this so hard to find, was that PHP reported a parse error about 50 or so lines *below* the line containing the backtick. (There were no other backticks anywhere in my code.) And the error message was rather cryptic:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /blah.php on line 446
Just something to file away in case you're pulling your hair out trying to find an error that "isn't there."
Operadores de Execução
O PHP suporta um operador de execução: acentos graves (``). Note que não são aspas simples! O PHP tentará executar o conteúdo dentro dos acentos graves como um comando do shell; a saída será retornada (isto é, ela não será simplesmente mostrada na tela; ela pode ser atribuída a uma variável). A utilização do operador acento grave é idêntica a da função shell_exec().
<?php
$output = `ls -al`;
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>Nota:
O operador de execução fica desabilitado quando shell_exec() está desabilitado.
Nota:
Ao contrário de outras linguagens, acentos graves não tem sentido especial dentro de strings delimitadas por aspas.

You can use variables within a pair of backticks (``).
<?php
$host = 'www.wuxiancheng.cn';
echo `ping -n 3 {$host}`;
?>

If you want to avoid situations like the one described by @robert you may want to disable `shell_exec` and -as a consequence- the backtick operator.
To do this just edit the `php.ini` file and add `shell_exec` to the `disable_functions` setting:
; This directive allows you to disable certain functions.
; It receives a comma-delimited list of function names.
; https://php.net/disable-functions
disable_functions = "shell_exec"
Then you can still use `exec()` to run terminal commands.
