Calling Python code from inside php

[vijay]

Hi
I have a python code performing some computation for me.I have a
html page which passes certain argumnets to a php page.This php page
needs to pass on the value to the Python class and get the result
back.
How do I go about this??
Cheers
Vijay

popen() or proc_open() seem ideal to me.

There are several ways, none is perfect.

1. Wrap your Python class into a command-line Python script and
have the PHP script run it and pass it the arguments via
command line.

2. Wrap your Python class into a Web service (you will need to
install mod_python or configure your Python interpreter to
work as a CGI program) and have the PHP script and pass it
the arguments via POST.

3. Extend .Net to support PHP (with Phalanger) and Python (with
IronPython) and see if you can get the two to work together
within .Net.

4. Extend .Net to support Python, compile your class into a DLL
and then wrap that DLL into a PHP extension.
