The reason why i using exec is cos i using windows and windows dont have ssh or ssh2
Its a nightmare to get it working

Take a look at Westies Windows control panel (use search). Download it, browse PHP files a bit and find exec() command he uses to start server.

I don't use exec() for starting anything.

Ever.

It hangs.

For Linux, I use a combination of proc_open and proc_close, and for Windows I use the WshShell COM object.
