I think the manual on exec() makes it pretty clear:

<http://www.php.net/exec>

"Note: If you start a program using this function and want to leave it
running in the background, you have to make sure that the output of
that program is redirected to a file or some other output stream or
else PHP will hang until the execution of the program ends."
