Passing variables: php >> python and then python >> php

Question

I want to pass the variable from php to python and i use this code for that:

php

<?php

    $item='http://www.google.com';
    $tmp  = passthru("python test.py ".$item);

python

from selenium import webdriver
import sys
link = sys.argv[1]
chrome_path = r"C:\Users\user\Downloads\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
driver.get(link)
s = driver.page_source

and this works fine, but now in this process, I want to pass this variable s from python in the PHP, can I do it somehow in one step, when I pass the variable from PHP to python to receive the result of python code again in the PHP

try using shell_exec, using shell_exec run your python script which returns a json, this will get stored in your shell_exec var. Won't this work? — xxbinxx

this does not work because your python script is not giving any output — xxbinxx

This should work

from selenium import webdriver
....# your code here
print(driver.page_source)

in PHP

$tmp = shell_exec('python test.py ' . $item);

Now your $tmp should have driver.page_source value
