exec quatation problem

Hi,

I try to do the following:

exec('"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -s123456 "d:\my path\file.zip" "d:\my
path\file.txt");

But it doesn't do anything. Looking further, the apache log tells me:

c:\program is not recognized as internal or external command, program or
batchfile.

Help!

Even weider:
exec('"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -s123456 d:\mypath\file.zip
d:\mypath\file.txt);

(so without the quating in the arguments) That does run.... But this way, I
cannot have spaces in the arguments, which I need...

Does anyone know a solution to be able to execute the line that I wrote
first?

Thanks, best regards,
-Hendri Adriaens.

exec('"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -s123456 "d:\my path\file.zip"
"d:\my path\file.txt");
[snip]
exec('"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -s123456 d:\mypath\file.zip
d:\mypath\file.txt);
Note, I forgot to write the final single quotes (') in the argument of exec.
This is a typo in the message, not in the program.

-Hendri.
