FFMPEG not creating thumbnails

My ffmpeg command in php is 

echo $cmd_thumbnail_create = ("\"$ffmpeg\" -i \"" . $dir.$videopath . "\" -an -ss $getFromSecond \"" . $dir.$thumbnailpath ."\"");
exec($cmd_thumbnail_create);

Output of which is

"C:\FFMPEG\bin\ffmpeg" -i "C:/xampp/htdocs/final/uploaded_videos/intro_en.mp4" -an -ss 6 "C:/xampp/htdocs/final/thumbnail/intro_en.jpg"

This when copied and executed on the command prompt creates the thumbnail at proper location with proper name.

Any suggestions?

This worked for me...
first.... locate your path to FFMPEG mine is
$ffmpeg = "H:\\SERVr\\htdocs\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg";
Then.. in your shell_exec...
shell_exec("$ffmpeg -i your-input.jpg -an -ss 30 -s 120x100 your-output.jpg 2>&1");

-i is your input file.
-ss is video time you want the clip pulled from.
-s is the size of the thumbnail you want

This works on my Windows machine with XAMPP, and works perfectly.
