exec() problem...

[joking]

Hi

I am having a problem with the exec() function

 

I am trying to execute a binary file that i have ... but it keeps returning nothing ( like it didnt find the file )

 

my code:

$parm="merchant_id=xxx";
$parm="$parm merchant_country=xxx";
$parm="$parm amount=xxx";
$parm="$parm currency_code=xxx";

$parm="$parm pathfile=C:\\CKServer\\qwe\\param\\pathfile";

$path_bin = "C:\\CKServer\\qwe\\bin\\request";

$result = exec("$path_bin $parm");

the problem is that $result is always empty

 

I have also tried to put

exec("$path_bin $parm",$result);

but also the $result was an empy ARRAY

 

NOTE: The permissions on the all the files are 777 and the path is correct of course

 

Anyone has any idea ?
