On the other hand if I will write some command like for example 'convert picture.jpg newPicture.png' in my batch file and run it from my script using exec(), it works and I get the desired result. (perhaps as 'convert' is from a Windows built-in program)

You may be right that the issue is due to inappropriate paths but still I am unable to figure out the problem. As far as giving absolute paths both for command and the file; i have tested it already and it did not work. By the way, right now for the sake of simplicity my php, batch and my first-program.tex files..... all are present in the same folder on the root of www (using wamp)
On google the error, I found the following link which suggest setting up of PATH if you are unable to run the latex command from cmd:
