I would definitely not do it this way and use a RPC client. A very simple one is https://github.com/aceat64/EasyBitcoin-PHP

You have a couple of approaches:

  1. Use some well written JSON/RPC php client like this php-json-rpc-http [For using via HTTPS] or php-json-rpc-ssh [For using via SSH] along with implementing calls on your own based on Bitcoin's Reference API CallsList. Bitcoin RPC quick reference is also very helpful.
  2. Completely rely on PHP-BitconRPC, which is a well unit-tested all-in-one library using Guzzle
