exec() Silent Death

[ashore]

Under Win32/Vista, PHP 5, I have a batch of files to convert and I'm
trying to script that in PHP.

The following fails silently - while the hand-entered version - sans
the escapes of course - works. (I've tried system(), and added an
output parameter for debug, but still a silent death.

exec ("C:\\Progra m Files\\FWTools\ \ogr2ogr-f \"MapInfo File\" f:\
\out2.mif f:\\tgr24001\\t gr24001cty00.sh p");

Any help will be appreciated. -AS

Add "2>&1" to your command line and see what it says
