You have a couple of approaches:

1. Use some well written JSON/RPC php client like this [php-json-rpc-http](https://github.com/datto/php-json-rpc-http) [For using via HTTPS] or [php-json-rpc-ssh](https://github.com/datto/php-json-rpc-ssh) [For using via SSH] along with implementing calls on your own based on [Bitcoin's Reference API CallsList](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list). [Bitcoin RPC quick reference](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#rpc-quick-reference) is also very helpful.
2. Completely rely on [PHP-BitconRPC](https://github.com/denpamusic/php-bitcoinrpc), which is a well unit-tested all-in-one library using Guzzle
