Do you see any error messages? 
Is your webserver writing anything useful to the error log?

If so, that should help you figure out which environment variables need
changing. 

As I said, I don't know php, but I'd guess that anything you set between
the <php> tags gets discarded once the PHP script has been run, so:
- try setting environment variables before calling shell_exec()
- alternatively, try writing a wrapper shell script that sets the
  environment and runs wine and shell_exec() that instead.
