How do you execute a php file and then view the output of it?

os.system("php ./index.php")

Does not work only returns 0

Answer 1

What you need is the os.popen function. It runs the command and returns the stdout pipe for that commands output. You can also capture the stdin, stderr by using os.popen2, popen3

import os

outp = os.popen('php ./index.php')
text = outp.read() # this will block until php finishes
                   # and returns with all output in text
print text
