Executing scripts from html using php

Question

i have the follwing HTML with javascript calling a PHP file

 <html>
 <head>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">
    function doSomething() {
       $.get("mySample.php");
       return false;
     }
 </script>
 <body class="page_bg">
 <a href="#" onclick="doSomething();">Click Me!</a></head>
 </body>
 </html>

when it is executed it should call up "mySample.php" script, whose code is given below

 <?php
 #if ($_GET['run']) 
 {
  # This code will run if ?run=true is set.
   exec("python visualization.py");
 }
 ?>

then this piece of code calls up the python script called visualization.py, which results in some.html file, which i want to get back in the browser.

Given above approach is not working
Is it correct?

If you want to display your data when you call you need to handle the response you're getting. I think this will work:

$.get("mySample.php", function(resp){
    $('body').html(resp);
});

And have you tested if your php file works?

Try this code:

$.get( "mySample.php", function(data) {
  $('body').html(data);
  alert( "Load was performed." );
});
