note 80806 added to function.exec

I am writing a website in PHP+Mysql (Apache) which include function like automatically send SMS to users. I am trying to do this by making using of Microsoft SMS sender (Freeware). There are 2 modes to operate this SMS sender, graphic mode and command mode in cmd. I am trying the latter one. Therefore, I'm just wondering does anyone know how to execute a command line in php script ("smssender.exe [[/i] /p:65065110 /m:"hihi" [/u] [/l]] ". I have heard of exec() function but it seems it deosn't work and end up with a cmd window without anything inside. I am using php 5.1. Thank you very much!
