How to call python script file under PHP?

Question

I have two files in the same directory:

index.php
excel.py

I tried to call excel.py in file index.php like:

$buff = system('python excel.py ' . $handle->file_dst_pathname, $retval);

I use Windows 10

What happened when you tried? Was there an error message? What webserver are you using? — Shadow

No any errors, I think I have to specify full path to file (d:\path) then after gap: d:\path python excel.py — POV

Try it like this,

exec("C:\Python27\python.exe C:\dir...\file.py");

The problem is you must call C:\Python27\python.exe Python exe file before python file.
