I need to write a PHP that shows the user a button (button1) and a
series of check boxes and another button (button2)..
If the button1 is clicked then I should launch a python script running
on the same linux box as the PHP..
If any of the check boxes are checked and button 2 is clicked, then I
should launch another script..
Is there any way to do this in PHP...
No. PHP is a server-side scripting language.
You need to use a client-side scripting language like JavaScript.
I don't think Ivan understood correctly, because it most certainly can be
done with php at the server. Just call the python script via exec() or
system() in the form handler, once you've detected that the button was
clicked.
<form action="execute_python.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" />
</form>
<form action="execute_python.php" method="post">
checkboxeses:
<input type="checkbox" name="foo1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo3" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo4" />
<input type="submit" name="submit2" />
</form>
execute_python.php should be something like
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit1'])){
exec('/path/to/the/python/script/my_python.py');
}
if(isset($_POST['submit2'])){
exec('/path/to/the/python/script/my_other_python.py');
}
?>
