also it might be worth saying that on your OS, do you know which is
executed first
program.bat
program.com
program.exe
so when you use the command
exec('program',$out);
what are you going to get in a directory where all three exist, or if
none exist!! (so the OS searches the path)
is there any harm in being exact?
