PHP 5.2.0 and Python 2.5

[Shortash]

Hi Guys,

I need some wisdom from you. Is it possible to have PHP pages posting
to python scripts on the server side and returning values back to the
calling PHP files? Like, if my enterval.php form's action=" think.py",
would the two scripts be able to talk to each other?

Thanks and Best Regards,

"Shortash"

Hi,

I don't know about Phyton (it is on my shortlist of languages I want to
learn), but from PHP you can call Phyton with CURL.
That is: if you mean a real POST (HTTP) to a webserver, that happens to be
running Phyton.
CURL is able to catch the output produced by that script, so you have 2-way
communication.

If you want to call Phyton from commandline, have a look at the exec()
functions and its nephews.

Both can be found at www.php.net.

And more: What I heard of Phyton, it is glued to whatever you can think of,
so maybe another way of PHP <-Phyton communication exists. But I don't
now anything about that. :-)
