Did you mean to ask if phosphoric acid could be used in place of red phosphorus in some reactions?
If you did, the answer is, usually not, and definitely not without alteration of a procedure.

No, it cannot, unless it involves complete oxidation, because H3PO4 contains pentavalent (fully oxidized) P, while red P is the element.

I think white shrit means phosphorous acid or hypophosphoric acid.

Ref: Phosphoric Acid question
There is an alternative to red Phosphorous but it's not phosphoric acid its hypophosphorous acid...hence you need to try to use your acid to make the hypophosphorous, so your question should be in the area of how to make
