You'll need to make sure the user running PHP (usually apache, www, or nobody) has exec permissions on that program. With the way the script is written currently, they'll need to be in the same directory, also.

$ chmod ugo+x script.sh

ought to make it executable for everyone, if that's not an issue. otherwise just make it owned by the PHP user and set it u+x.
