I looked at the other questions similar to this one, but can't figure this out still.
I have a basic php file that does this:
?php
$item='example';
$tmp = exec("python testscriptphp.py .$item");
echo $tmp;
?
While succesfully calls python that I have running on my webhostserver. Now in my python script i want something like this:
item=$item
print item
Basically I'm asking how to pass variables from PHP to a python script and then back to php if necessary.
Thanks!
Although netcoder pretty much gave you the answer in his comment, here's an example:
Python->PHP
example.py
import os
os.system("/usr/bin/php example2.php whatastorymark")
example2.php
<?php
echo $argv[1];
?>
PHP->Python
<?php
$item='example';
$tmp = exec("python testscriptphp.py .$item");
echo $tmp;
?>
testscriptphp.py
import sys
print sys.argv[1]
Here's how PHP's command line argument passing works: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.argv.php The same for Python: http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.argv
$argv[1] = 1234;write a php file example index.php:
<?PHP
$sym = $_POST['symbols'];
echo shell_exec("python test.py .$sym");
?>
$sym is a parameter we passining to test.py python file. then create a python example test.py:
import sys
print(sys.argv[1])
I hope it help you.
In php file
$a = "..\Python\Python39\python.exe ../frontend/upload/main.py '$param1''$param2'";
$output = shell_exec($a);
echo $output;
..\Python\Python39\python.exe
python path in my system, you can change with your path
../frontend/upload/main.py
it's my python script path
In python file
import sys
param_1_ = sys.argv[1]
param_2= sys.argv[2]
