Passing value from PHP script to Python script

Question

I looked at the other questions similar to this one, but can\'t figure this out still.

I have a basic php file that does this:

?php
$item=\'example\         


        

Answer 1

Although netcoder pretty much gave you the answer in his comment, here's an example:

Python->PHP

example.py

import os
os.system("/usr/bin/php example2.php whatastorymark")

example2.php

PHP->Python

testscriptphp.py

import sys
print sys.argv[1]

Here's how PHP's command line argument passing works: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.argv.php The same for Python: http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.argv
