I'm not sure but what if you defined an absolute path for your output
files (e.gpg and sf.txt).
I'm not sure either, but I was thinking absolute too.
Also you might try system(), shell_exec(), or passthru() if you're
trying to get output back.

I have been looking through the manual on the site but without knowing the name or names of what I am looking for it is real hard to find it.

Are your paths the same as they were in your last install? If not, you
need to update the conf files. Especially your modules directory
You might read along the PHP manual install instructions and verify
everythings in the right place. I always prefer the manual install
anyway. I usually place php4apache.dll (and php4ts.dll) in the Apache
root, or Apache/modules directory
If all else fails you could uninstall and try the WAMP bundle.
