Running Python script in PHP: - php

I make Relay-Website-with-Raspberry now python application is work but on php is no work
this php screp,
<?php
$output = shell_exec('sudo python 1on.py 2>&1');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
header("Location: ../index.php");
exit;
?>

This is not a right procedure to run a python script, Instead running python script in sudo mode give your file permission to www-data
chgrp www-data /path/to/python-script.py
put first line in your python script: #!/usr/bin/env python so the script knows which program to open it with..
Make your script executable
chmod +x /path/to/python-script.py
then try running the script
<?php
$output = shell_exec("/path/to/python-script.py");
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
header("Location: ../index.php");
exit;
?>

How to run Python3 script from php on CPanel?

I have a python script that i want to run from index.php and they both are in the same directory.
The problem is that there's no output shown on the page(index.php).
I am running the page on a CPanel shared hosting from GoDaddy.
I have the permissions -rwx for both the files.
There's no error in running the python3 script file from the terminal.
The same files run smoothly on my computer's localhost but not on the CPanel.
Am able to run bash files using the same php code.
I have tried using system() in php to call the python3 script file but this doesn't seems to work.
index.php:
<?php
$comm = "python3 test.py";
echo $comm;
$output = system($comm);
echo "\n";
print($output);
?>
test.py:
print ("Hello")
Current Output:
python3 test.py
I expect the output to be:
python3 test.py Hello
I think you will need to use shell_exec to run your python code like that
<?php
$command = escapeshellcmd('/usr/custom/test.py');
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;
?>
and the first line in the python file should be
#!/usr/bin/env python
Don't forget to give your python file the privileges
chmod +x test.py

Php cannot exec python script on - RPI3

I cannot at all execute a python script via php exec. This is my code
<?php
$output = shell_exec("python /var/www/html/socket/power_on.py");
$output = shell_exec("sudo python /var/www/html/socket/power_on.py");
$output = shell_exec("/usr/bin/python /var/www/html/socket/power_on.py");
echo $output;
?>
I've tried all of the above yet no luck the only command that seems to work that I've also tried is 'ls'
How to I give the user www-data access to sudo, as that may work. Since I've tried chmod 777 on the directory and file still no luck

Launch python file from PHP on LINUX server

I tried many solutions but nothing it works :
echo '<pre>';
shell_exec("python /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
shell_exec("sudo -u wwwexec python escapeshellcommand(/home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py) $uid");
shell_exec("sudo chmod +x /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
system("bash /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
passthru("bash /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
passthru("/home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
exec("bash /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
echo '</pre>';
I launched indivdually them but in all cases, Firebug returned : '<pre>'
So I tried this code founded on Stack Overflow :
$command = escapeshellcmd('chmod +x /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress_test.py');
echo $command;
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;
But firebug returned nothing.
My python file begin with #!/usr/bin/env python and if I launch it on server that works !
Do you knwo how can I launch my python file from PHP file ?
chmod will return 0 on success and > 0 on error.
Make sure that the file is able to run by just executing it as the web user. When +x is properly set, you can execute it by just calling $ /path/to/your/file.py, the shebang in the first line in your script #!/usr/bin/env python should define the correct python based on your env.
You can test this by running:
$ /usr/bin/env python /path/to/your/file.py
So check your file permissions to check if the file is executable by the user that runs the php script.
Just to test, you can just print a few lines in your python file
#!/usr/bin/env python
print "test line 1"
print "test line 2"
Then if you have verified permissions and the correct use of python, you can do this in your php.
$command = escapeshellcmd('/path/to/your/file.py');
$output = shell_exec($command); // get all output or use passthrough, exec will only return the last line.
echo "<pre>{$output}</pre>;
At first, Do you have enabled shell_exec/system/passthru commands in php.ini?
shell_exec("python /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
I think, it could be problem with your $PATH. Try something like: (use full path to python)
shell_exec("/usr/bin/python /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
shell_exec("/usr/local/bin/python /home/folder/python/mapfile_compress.py");
In my case that's work if I write this code :
$command = escapeshellcmd('python /path/to/your/file.py');
exec($command);

Execute Python script from Php

I have a PHP webpage on my raspberry pi with 2 buttons (on and off)
The on button button redirects to On.php
The off button redirects to Off.php
In "/usr/lib/cgi-bin" I have a python script that I would like to execute (script.py)
I can perfectly execute it from the terminal by typing
cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin
sudo python script.py
It works if I do it from the terminal.
The problem is the PHP file (On.php) in my "/var/www" folder.
This is what I wrote:
<?php
exec('cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin');
exec('sudo python script.py');
?>
Why is the script executing from the terminal, but not from my PHP?
You can't use sudo from a PHP script. Apache is running from an user (www-data generaly), so edit this file : /etc/sudoers
Then add this line :
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
Care ! this will authorize all functions to be called by a PHP script, you can adapt changing "ALL" by your script or Python command.
Then precise your user in your exec command :
<?php
exec('sudo -u www-data python /usr/lib/cgi-bin/script.py')
Try this out, it should be working:
<?php
system("cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin");
system("sudo python script.py");
?>
Or even this:
<?php
system("cd /usr/lib/cgi-bin && sudo python script.py");
?>
On an older Raspbian distribution you need to place your file in /var/www/file.py. So in your file.php you add:
{
exec("sudo python /var/www/file.py");
}
On a newer Raspbian Jessie you need to place your file in /var/www/html/file.py, so in your file.php you need to add:
{
exec("sudo python /var/www/html/file.py");
}
Or just any file.py
<?php
{
exec("sudo python test.py");
}
?>
Note: For this to work you need to edit a file first to add these lines to allow passwordless sudo
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
then go to the bottom and add this
pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL<br>
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Run sh script via php script via apache webserver

I've written a script to mount a disk when its connected to a volume with a specific UUID.
#!/bin/bash
#run script and store in PATH the path to disks
pathD=$(python /home/pi/scripts/AUTOMOUNT/disco1.py 2>&1)
#echo $pathD ###print disk's path
#mount it in PATH
if [ $pathD == 'None' ] ###Stop script if disk not present###
then
echo 'Disk not present'
exit
fi
sudo mount $pathD /media/Drive1
echo 'Disco 1 montato'
to run this without sudo I've modified the sudoers file, where was added the line
pi ALL= NOPASSWD: /home/pi/scripts/AUTOMOUNT/monta1.sh
and the script works fine from shell.
Now I need to run it in a PHP script, which is triggered from the Apache webserver homepage. The script is
<html>
<body>
<?php
$delay = 10;
if($_POST['button1'] == 'ON')
{
//action for ON
$output1 = shell_exec('sh /home/pi/scripts/PINS/disk1ON.sh');
echo $output1;
$output2 = shell_exec('sh /home/pi/scripts/AUTOMOUNT/monta1.sh')
echo $output2;
}
else if ($_POST['button1'] == 'OFF')
{
//action for OFF
$output = shell_exec('sh /home/pi/scripts/PINS/disk1OFF.sh');
echo $output;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
and works fine until $output2 command is called. Calling the script monta1.sh (the script written on top) nothing happens ...
I tried to add to sudoers the line
wwwuser ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/pi/scripts/AUTOMOUNT/monta1.sh
but nothing happens
How can I make it work ?
