Thank's for your quick answers but it's not the solution for this problem.
The use of a test.bat file in the exec() command just works fine.
test.bat is a program that writes a logfile of a ping to the temp dirictory.
Since de file test.bat is in de home directory of apache I even don't have
to use the path direction as in the original example.
the test.bat file contains

ping 213.84.188.39 >c:\temp\test.log

so the scriptline exec('c:\apache2\homepage\test.bat); or
exec("test.bat"); works fine

But adding a extra programline in de test.bat file that starts the
prnfrm.exe file,will write a logfile but doesn't print anything and that is
what de prnfrm.exe file is supposed to do.
