How to run a python script that asks for input in php

Question

I want a way to pass input into a python script from PHP. I am using the following command but can't seem to figure out a way to pass a value to the script

$command = escapeshellcmd('/usr/custom/test.py');
$output = shell_exec($command);

Answer 1

for example you have a simple input like this :

<input type="text" name="name"><br>

To pass it you can simply do like this:

<?php system("python mycode.py ".$_POST["name"]); ?>

you can also use exec() and passthru()

system("python mycode.py <arg1> <arg2>");

//or

exec("python mycode.py <arg1> <arg2>");

//or

passthru("python mycode.py <arg1> <arg2>");

have a good time !
