PHP exec() returning empty array (no output) when executing java -jar command

I have a working web php app. I'm working on win 7 and using apache.

Now I'm trying to execute this java command in php and display result on site:

exec("java -jar C:\webroot\ipt\themes\ipt\views\site\Skills.jar 5 10 5.5 10 2 5 8 3 10 6 11 2 15 4", $output);

    for ($index = 0; $index < count($output); $index++) {
        echo $output[$index]." ";
    }

However $output is an empty array - no output. I'm not getting any error or crash. Output is only a basic string. I tried to enter this same command in cmd and it work as it should - returning expected output.

So I tried different command to see if it's not problem with exec(), so I tried 'ipconfig' which displayed output on site flawlesly.

Because of this I think it has something to do with either PHP or Apache (or both).

I searched for some similar problems of other people and tried:

So I want to ask if someone doesn't know solution to this problem.

Thanks

Make sure that you are able to run this command without any problems in your console directly.

Change your exec to the following:

exec("java -jar C:\\webroot\\ipt\\themes\\ipt\\views\\site\\Skills.jar 5 10 5.5 10 2 5 8 3 10 6 11 2 15 4 2>&1", $output);
