completly irrelevant, the ffmpeg binary don't care from where it was called

"using PHP as scripting language instead of e.g. BASH" - besides that
PHP implicitly starts /bin/sh in the bckground which is the reason why
you can forbid exec() and friends with
"InaccessiblePaths=-/usr/bin/bash" in a webserver unit :-)
