Convert JPG/PNG to SVG format using PHP

How do I convert JPG/PNG to SVG using PHP?

I know that it will not be vectorised, but I need it in a SVG-format.

I dont want to use any other software than PHP.

Something like this:

<?php

$image_to_cenvert = 'image.jpg';

$content = file_get_contents($image_to_cenvert);

$svg_file = fopen('image.svg','w+');

fputs($svg_file,$content);
fclose($svg_file);

?>
