I am not interested in the output returned by exec( ) function's argument . I am just interested in the complete execution of the batch file.

The exec() function already calls "cmd.exe" internally, there's no need
to call it yourself.
You've managed to omit all the relevant information:
- What $batchFileToRun is. Is it a full path? Is it in a network drive?
Does it contain spaces?
- What the batch file does. Does it read or write files? Does it
interact with the desktop?
- What user you are running PHP as. Is it a command line script? Does
Apache run it as LOCAL_SYSTEM?
- What exec()'s return, output and return status are.

Given the question, I'd say proc_open() is "better" than exec(), but
it's way more difficult to use. And it won't execute a script either if
it cannot find it or does not have the appropriate permissions.
