try this

http://php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php

or this

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

why you need to call it from php?

use autosys or task scheduler or something if you can't figure that out...

I believe PHP is considered it's own user on the system. So it launches it's own hidden / background cmd prompt when using shell. I would Google it for more info. You can see an example of this with:

<?php
echo shell_exec("ping google.com");
?>

 

The program does actually work, but it doesn't show up on your computer.
