Run Python program from PHP

In PHP, you can use the ‘shell_exec’ function. It can be executed via the shell and returns the result as a string. If NULL is passed from the command line or there is no output, an error is returned.

The following is a code example with the same function:

<?php
   $command_exec = escapeshellcmd(&#39;path-to-.py-file&#39;);
   $str_output = shell_exec($command_exec);
   echo $str_output;
?>

Need to give the correct permissions in order to successfully execute the Python script.

Note − When working on Unix type platforms, the PHP code is executed as the web user. Therefore, web users should be given the necessary permissions on directories and subdirectories.
