How to call a Python Script from PHP?

Question

I have some code written in PHP, but I have also developed a script written in Python. Is it possible to call this Python script from the PHP code?

If yes, how can I pass parameters to the Python script from the PHP?

I have tried to find an answer without any success.

Can someone give me a clue?

Answer 1

You use the system function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.system.php

Something like this:

$mystring = system('python myscript.py myargs', $retval);

Answer 2

You can try this:

python scripts:

 test.py:
        print "hello"

then php Scripts

index.php:
   $i =`python test.py`;
   echo $i;
