Description:
------------
in php.ini,popen function is in disable functions:
disable_functions => passthru,system,popen,chroot,escapeshellcmd,proc_get_status => passthru,system,popen,chroot,escapeshellcmd,proc_get_status

function_exists('popen') return false,but when call popen, php only give a notice,but not throw a fatal error。

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
var_dump(function_exists('popen'));//false
$handle = popen("/bin/ls", "r");//null Warning: popen() has been disabled for security reasons in
var_dump($handle);
echo gettype($handle);

Expected result:
----------------
when popen function is called,php should throw a fatal error。

And this is pretty serious since the following code runs with completely undefined behavior - i reported that months ago and it was argued that the disabled functions are still listed in defined functions 

in a normal code flow I don't give a damn if a function don't exist at all, is disabled or the extension is not loaded when I just can't call it

Since php7 is throwing exceptions everywhere but here and in the soap extension both are just plain bugs and a horrible inconsistency
