in reply to system calls problem
Try to execute the whole path.
If that does not help, maybe the programm you try to call is causing the problem. system() is doing a fork, and the process is waitng for the child process to complete.
If you don't need to fork (the return) try exec(), wich does not do a return:
exec('C\pogramms\programm.exe', $file_to_open);
