Second parameter should be an array, you will get the output in it. For
instance:

$a=array();
$output = exec("tree_words.exe < $input", $a);
var_dump($a);

Or use passthru().

Be _very_ careful to validate $input variable!!!!!!

I have found that it was the indirection < that
creates the bug.

I tried to escape it \
tried to use oblique quotes `<`
dont works.

Any clue?

Create the command string outside the exec command ?

$mycommand = "tree_words.exe ".char(60)." ".$input;
$output = exec($mycommand, $a);

Not tested.

I/O redirection expects a file - so unless $fichier is the name of a
file containing another filename you're doing something whacky here
which will not work. Surely you mean to do this:

$output = exec("tree_words.exe < $fichier", $real_output);

I have no idea what you're trying to do with fgets(STDOUT) which
doesn't even make sense on its own in PHP (the std streams exist but
have to be explicitly opened - there is no guarantee that the resource
will have a specific value therefore cannot be referenced using a
constant.
