Change shell_exec to exec, and use the extra parameters to get back ERROR
MESSAGES and ERROR CODE.

Print those out, and Windoze should tell you what's wrong.

Don't use '..\phpunit.bat' -- Use a full pathname.

Also don't use \ at all, I don't think... I *think* PHP will convert / to
the right thing for your OS. No promises on that part.

If you *DO* use \, you should use \\, even inside '', just case your
filename ever has a ' in it or you ever need to use variables, switch to
"", and suddenly it "doesn't work" because now \n isn't what it once was.

echo "<br />My out value is ", implode("", $myOut);

Also add $myError argument, and do:
if ($myError) echo "OS Error: $myError<br />\n";
