Question

Say you have a class like this:

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, var1):
        self.var = var1
    ....

This class, in python, works only when you assign a value:

x = MyClass("Hi")

So basically, my question is whether I can send a variable from php to execute a python class, and return its output (it’s string) and continue to execute my php code?

Any suggestions?

SOLUTION

in php:

$var = "something";
$result = exec("python fileName.py .$var")

in python:

import sys

sys.argv[0] # this is the file name
sys.argv[1] # this is the variable passed from php

Answer 1

First of all, create a file containing the python-script you want to execute, including (or loading) the class and x = MyClass("Hi")

Now, use the following line to get the result:

$result = exec('python yourscript.py');
