New Comment:
I can't reproduce it with php6 neither with 5.3 or 5.2 in CLI or FCGI.
Can you try it with CLI/CGI too please?

Also broken in PHP Version 5.2.10; safe mode off.
An earlier version (no record of which) did work when used thus to get
a Windows dvd volume label:
if (preg_match('#Volume in drive [a-zA-Z]* is (.*)\n#i',
shell_exec('dir '.$drive.':'), $m)) {
$volname = ' ('.$m[1].')';

Description:
------------
On PHP 6 VC 6 from 3.sept.2009 the shell_exec command is broken.
Tested on Xampp on Windows XP with Apache 2.2.9.
Whatever you put into shell_exec e.g.
shell_exec("dir C:\\")
produces a
Warning shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Unable to execute 'dir
c:\'
The same script works fine on PHP 5
