php: Run a python script from php [duplicate]

Question

i just wanted to ask you how i can run my python script from php! I tried shell_exec, exec, system and passthru - noting happened.

www-data has sudo acces (sudoers).

If i do it with sudo su www-data i can run the script.

Thats confusing to me.

My script looks like this:

echo '<pre>';
echo $output = shell_exec('/usr/bin/python /var/www/inc/send.py');
echo '</pre>';

Thanks for your help!

$output is empty. There's no output. If i do it with ls -al for example i get an output. — Dwynr

Does your command generate output? You seem to be sending everything to /dev/null... — jeroen

It should generate an error output because there are no argv set. — Dwynr

In which directory do you have your send.py script? Try to add full path to send.py and print (echo) output.
