    The third parameter ($ret) isn't defined by the exec() function,
but rather by the program called in the first parameter.  I'm not
certain if Windows has a[n easy] way to redirect STDERR to STDOUT, but
if it does, try that.  For example:

<?php
    exec('./unix-application 2>&1',$ret,$err);
    print_r($ret);
    echo "Return: ".$err."\n";
?>
