get-process.php -:

<?php

    $username = "devang_gaur@outlook.com";

    $psScriptPath = "D:\\get-process.ps1";

    $query = shell_exec("powershell -command $psScriptPath -username '$username'< NUL");
    echo $query;

?>

get-process.ps1 -:

param(
[string]$username
)

$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)

$Mail.To = "$username"
$Mail.Subject = "New Leave Request"
$Mail.Body = "$username"

$Mail.Send()

Write-Output "Hello $username <br />"

get-process.php is the php that is present in root folder wwwroot of IIS Windows Server 2012 and from which the PowerShell script get-process.ps1 is triggered. Get-process.ps1 contains script for sending the mail

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side. If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution. Read more about that in the Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.

Instead, you may consider using a low-level API on which Outlook is based on - Extended MAPI. Or any other wrapper around that API, for example, Redemption.
