/**
 * A simple fix for a shell execution on preg_match('/[0-9]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/', shell_exec('mysql -V'), $version);
 * The only edit that was done is that shell_exec('mysql -V') was changed to mysql_get_server_info() because not all
 * systems have shell access. XAMPP, WAMP, or any Windows system might not have this type of access. mysql_get_server_info()
 * is easier to use because it pulls the MySQL version from phpinfo() and is compatible with all Operating Systems.
