Here's something you might try. I haven't tried it with PHP, but I do use it as a shortcut for a couple of VFP programs I have written when needing to make registry entries.
Use PHP to write yourself a .reg file. Then run the .reg file with the exec command. If you have time to try this I would really like to know if it work through PHP's exec.
