shell_exec() states that

Execute command via shell and return the complete output as a string

That means that the output should be returned as a string. Are you sure the program you are executing isn't printing anything to the screen? Note sure if that's even possible, I don't use this function very often. Just trying to help ^^. Maybe you can use something like $result = shell_exec(...);?
