calling php function from python

[mark]

is it possible to call a php function from python and use a class from
php in python? i want to use mmslib which creates mms messages and the
only implementation is a php mmslib implementation.
thanks a lot!

You can consider to use some kind of RPC (remote procedure call)
for example XML-RPC. This is a platform and language independent
solution.
Here you have some information:

For a quickstart it's probably easier to run the PHP code using the CGI
version of the PHP interpreter. E.g.
os.system('/usr/bin/php mms.php')
or using the subprocess module, if you want to pass some data to the script
(using stdin/out).

As long as no remote PHP server is involved this is easier and perhaps even
faster than the RPC approach...

Do yourself - and the python community... :) - a favor and just translate
the mmslib code to python. It is easy and straightforward todo.
