Not PHP problem.
See bug #25361.

Description:
------------
Within windows CMD32, the following works (obviously you will need to
have a Windows system with Internet Explorer installed).
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
Will load Internet Explorer.
In PHP run from the CLI ...
<?php
$sOutput = shell_exec('"C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"');
?>
Will load Internet Explorer and wait until it is closed.
If you want to pass the program a parameter then you would wrap the
parameter with double quotes.
e.g.
>From the command line ...
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
"http://www.google.com";
Will load Internet Explorer and place you at Google.
If you try the same sort of thing in PHP ...
<?php
$sOutput = shell_exec('"C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" "http://www.google.com";');
?>
You get an error of ...
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$sOutput = shell_exec('"C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" "http://www.google.com";');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Internet Explorer loads with the Google page being displayed.
Actual result:
--------------
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
