It seems like the ssh executable is not in the path variable. Try to add the ssh.exe to the environment as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41895179/251719

There is a difference between the path variable for the user and the system-wide path variable. If ssh added itself to the user path variable then it might be only available for you in the CMD, but not for other users. I assume that PHP runs with a different user account. So please check, that ssh is known via the system-wide path variable. https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm – netblognet Jul 30 '19 at 08:56
