Again, I'm not familiar with php, but can you try enclosing your 
variable in either single or double quotes?  Like this?

fwrite(STDOUT,"exec saydigits \"$my_var\" \n");

...or whatever it is that you guys used to escape literals.  I use 
pascal mostly and it's strings are encased in single quotes so it's easy ;)

I looks almost like the php interpreter is handing over the literal 
pointer to the string instead of the string reference itself.  That is 
why I suggested the quotes around the string.

As another posted suggested, you should consider using a wrapper 
class/object if you're using PHP.  They've done all the work for you 
already.  If I had to write every single little piece of code that I 
used to develop software, I'd never get anything done!

Sorry can't help you more.  Hopefully someone with real php experience 
will see your post and give you a hand.
