I have a PHP app that I want to convert to django. But I want to do it stages. All the heavy lifting is in the PHP code, so first, I want to just use templates and views to generate the HTML, but still call the PHP code. Then later convert the PHP to python. My issue is that the PHP code expects to get all it's input from the REQUEST object and I've consumed that in the view. Is there any way I can somehow supply that to the PHP code?
Is there some way python can communicate like curl ... it needs to send the request string in the body of a POST request to the URL that will route to the PHP script and get the output back.
You can simply read the output with urllib2 (or one of the many other libraries) and return the response.
import urllib2
from django import http
def some_django_view(request):
fh = urllib2.urlopen('http://your_php_page/?' + request.GET.urlencode())
return http.HttpResponse(fh.read())

I want to execute python script with post data and get result from there using curl in php. If anyone have done this kind of functionality then please help. I have searched a lot but didn't get anything.
This is my python script path
cgi-bin/interactive.py
And i want to pass title=abc as post data.
I have done it with shell_exec in php file,
$command = escapeshellcmd('cgi-bin/interactive.py test');
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;
But in this i am facing issue with sys.argv to fetch argument in python file.
Is it possible to pass argument with key=value with shell_exec? If yes then it can solve my problem otherwise i need to call with curl post data.
Thanks in advance!
To do advanced parsing of shell arguments you can use getopt or argparse modules. They are highly configurable and flexible.
Passing post data via shell arguments is, however, not proper as per the CGI spec (if this is supposed to be a true CGI application). Post data comes from stdin in CGI, so in your Python program you can read in the HTTP response like regular user input, and then parse out the POST data. See this thread for more info.
I have a python flask application, but I have some old php scripts that I would want to reuse.
I am trying to parse some data from my flask application. When accessing it, company login password is needed, so "curl" in php wouldn't really work. So I am thinking of parsing the data to the php scripts through render_template.
Is it possible to do something like this :
data= <some data>
#app.route('/test')
def test():
return render_template('my_php_scripts.php',input_data=data)
While in my php script, I do:
<?php
$DataString=**{{input_data}}**
?>
If not, what would be a good way to do it?
So if you want process the php in python, you'll need to do something like
data = "Charles"
from subprocess import call
call(["php", "my_php_scripts.php", data])
where your php script looks something like
<?php
$DataString = $argv[1];
echo "Eat nachoes, $DataString!\r\n";
presuming the data is something fairly simple, or maybe you can convert it into a JSON if it's a more complex object and transfer it in that way.
i'm searching the inet for around 3 days now and i'm stuck at this.
I got a MySQL Database and a php Script, as well as a Game made in UE4.
UE4 uses c++.
So now i want to send requests from the c++ game to the php script and that shall interact with the database.
For example create an account or login. I also want to pass the mysql query result of the php script to my c++ class.
I tried using HttpRequest, but i can't get data from php to c++ with that.
Maybe you can, but i don't understand it at all.
What i accomplished by now is that you can send a POST request from the game to the php script and pass variables so that the script uses them to perform the mysql query.
But how can i pass data from the php file to c++ now? The response i get is always the whole site (head and body) and i don't know where i could save the query result to pass it to the c++ code.
I'm a full beginner here, so go easy on me. I read so many different posts and blogs that my brain hurts like hell ): I hope someone can tell me how to do this easily or at least give me a hint on what i have to google and what i could use. I don't need a full tutorial, just a name of a library better than the Http.h (if simple HttpRequest cant manage this) would be enough. ): I'm really frustrated...

The PHP script should retun a HTTP response reduced to a bare minimum. It doesn't even need to be a HTML document:
<?php
// file: api.php
$param = $_POST['myparam'];
$foo = bar($param); // $foo contains e.g. "1,ab,C"
echo $foo; // if you opened http://myhost.com/api.php in a browser
// all you would see is "1,ab,C"
// (which is not a valid HTML document, but who cares)
?>
Then parse this HTTP response (a plain string, that is) from your game. You can use your own data format, or use a well-known format of your choice (XML or JSON are good candidates).
The json object in unreal is pretty good, so I would recommend outputting json from your php script. Json in php is a pretty natural workflow.
<?php
$obj['userid'] = 5476;
$obj['foo'] = 'bar';
echo json_encode($obj);
php?>
That will echo out
{"userid":5476,"foo":"bar"}
If that's all you output in your script then it's pretty straightforward to treat that as a string and populate an unreal json object with it.
FString TheStuffIGotFromTheServer;
TSharedPtr<FJsonObject> ParsedJson;
TSharedRef<TJsonReader<TCHAR>> JsonReader = TJsonReaderFactory<TCHAR>::Create(TheStuffIGotFromTheServer);
if (FJsonSerializer::Deserialize(JsonReader, ParsedJson))
{
FString foo = ParsedJson.GetStringField("foo");
double UserId = ParsedJson.GetNumberField("userid");
}
Check out the unreal json docs to get a feel for what you can do with it.
I used the code from http://angularjs.org/ (Wire up a Backend)
Here in project.js
angular.module('project', ['firebase']).
value('fbURL', 'https://angularjs-projects.firebaseio.com/').
factory('Projects', function(angularFireCollection, fbURL) {
return angularFireCollection(fbURL);
}).
config(function($routeProvider) {
I used this code in my web page. Instead of https://angularjs-projects.firebaseio.com/ url i want to use my url i.e http://test.com/test.php. But it didn't work.
Also i want to know in my php file in which format the out put should be?
Do you need to echo the content in php file or use the return command? Please give suggestion. I have searched a lot. I couldn't find the solution.
I think in firebase url https://angularjs-projects.firebaseio.com/ they are returning the response from their back-end service. That is why it didn't worked for you even if you changed the URL.
And answer to your second question;
If you make a call to your back-end service its better to have a json response style from your PHP and you don't have to use any return command for that. Instead you should echo your contents.
For example in your PHP file if you are getting the results as an array you can give back the response to the angular application as;
echo json_encode($result_array);
Hope it helps.
I think you should separate backend and frontend and treat them as two separated application. Both apps should communicate with each other by sending ajax request (front) and respone data in json format (backend). In my opinion it's the best way to handle this.
I have a PHP script (news-generator.php) which, when I include it, grabs a bunch of news items and prints them. Right now, I'm using Python for my website (CGI). When I was using PHP, I used something like this on the "News" page:
<?php
print("<h1>News and Updates</h1>");
include("news-generator.php");
print("</body>");
?>
(I cut down the example for simplicity.)
Is there a way I could make Python execute the script (news-generator.php) and return the output which would work cross-platform? That way, I could do this:
page_html = "<h1>News and Updates</h1>"
news_script_output = php("news-generator.php") //should return a string
print page_html + news_script_output
import subprocess
def php(script_path):
p = subprocess.Popen(['php', script_path], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
result = p.communicate()[0]
return result
# YOUR CODE BELOW:
page_html = "<h1>News and Updates</h1>"
news_script_output = php("news-generator.php")
print page_html + news_script_output
PHP is a program. You can run any program with subprocess.
The hard part is simulating the whole CGI environment that PHP expects.
maybe off topic, but if you want to do this in a way where you can access the vars and such created by the php script (eg. array of news items), your best best will be to do the exec of the php script, but return a json encoded array of items from php as a string, then json decode them on the python side, and do your html generation and iteration there.
I think the best answer would be to have apache render both pages separately and then use javascript to load that page into a div. You have the slight slowdown of the ajax load but then you dont have to worry about it.
There is an open-source widget thing that will run multiple languages in 1 page but I cant remember what its called.
You could use urllib to get the page from the server (localhost) and execute it in the right environment for php. Not pretty, but it'll work. It may cause performance problems if you do it a lot.
