Is your webserver writing anything useful to the error log? If so, that should help you figure out which environment variables need changing. As I said, I don't know php, but I'd guess that anything you set between the <php> tags gets discarded once the PHP script has been run, so: - try setting environment variables before calling shell_exec() - alternatively, try writing a wrapper shell script that sets the environment and runs wine and shell_exec() that instead.
