it is espacing issue as Stuart stated.. try this one thats working for me
with spaces

//$out = shell_exec("\"C:/Program Files/tws_date.exe\""); tws_date is c
program prints date. nothing special
$out = shell_exec("\"C:/Program Files/GAMS23.7/gams.exe\" \"C:/Program
Files/GAMS23.7/trnsport_php.gms\"");

if ($out) {
    echo "OK: " . $out;
} else {
    echo "ERROR";
}

var_dump($out);
