Well I ended up with a slightly different way to do it but it seems to work
for me.
Don't know if anyone else will find it useful but here is the code.
//Use windows netstat to check for port 3306 (MySQL)
//If it is not in the list then run MySQL
exec ('netstat -a -n', $reply, $error);
$reply = implode($reply);
$mysqlrunning = eregi( ':3306',$reply );
if (!$mysqlrunning){
exec
('C:\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=C:\mysql\bin\my.cnf --standalone')
;
}
