How to run phonegap using php?

how to run phonegap cli using php scripts?
i can manually run phonegap with windows cmd and everything works great but when i call ex:'phonegap build android' in php exec, nothing happens. no error no catch block, nothing.

here is my code:

test.php

<?php
$out = array();
try {
    $create_command = 'phonegap create test';
    $build_command = 'phonegap build android';
    exec($build_command,$out);
    foreach($out as $line) echo $line.'<br>';
}
catch(Exception $ex) {
    echo $ex->getMessage();
}
?>

by the way i registered php in environments then ran 'php %path_to_file%/test.php' in cmd and it worked.

thanks for your replies. but there was nothing wrong with my codes. problem was fast-cgi which is not installed by default on xampp. i changed my web server to nginx using this web server WT-NMP.

Try below: 

<?php
function sys_cmd($cmd)
{   
    $hd = popen($cmd,"r") or die('function disabled');
    while (!feof($hd))
    {
        $rs .= fread($hd,1024);     
    }
    pclose($hd);
    return $rs;
}

out = array();
try {
    $create_command = 'phonegap create test';
    $build_command = 'phonegap build android';

    sys_cmd ($build_command, $out);

    foreach($out as $line){
        echo $line.'<br>';
    }
}

catch(Exception $ex) {
    echo $ex->getMessage();
}
?>

Change this:

exec($build_command,$out);<br>
foreach($out as $line) echo $line.'<br>';

by this:

passthru( $build_command );

The passthru command does the same as exec and writes the resulting code directly to the browser.
