Calling Python file from within PHP

Question

I would like to call a Python file from within PHP. I've tried this :

exec('C:\Python34\python.exe ./python/genereBonDeCommande.py');

But it doesn't work. In my Python file I've got this :

fichier = open(repertoire+"C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9/data/localweb/projects/Administration/bonsDeCommandes" + nom_fichier, "No13");
fichier.write('hello');

Then how can I call a Python file from within PHP?

Try executing your script with the full path to your file like this:

<php
//If your file is in C:\wamp\www\python
exec('C:\Python34\python.exe C:\wamp\www\python\genereBonDeCommande.py');

It tells me "io.UnsupportedOperation: not writable" when i execute the file with the cmd – Saroten Jun 08 '15 at 10:08
can you just echoes a value in your genereBonDeCommande.py to test where is the problem? Because maybe the error is in this file – Adrian Cid Almaguer Jun 08 '15 at 10:11
The problem is that it doesn't want to write into the file. If i put fichier.read() instead it works properly. – Saroten Jun 08 '15 at 10:12
@guillaumedrillaud then your question *"Then how can I call a Python file from within PHP?"* is solved the problem is other – Adrian Cid Almaguer Jun 08 '15 at 10:17
I don't know if it works because if i put fichier.read() there is no error but i don't know if the call worked or not. How can I check if the call worked ? – Saroten Jun 08 '15 at 10:20
@guillaumedrillaud just put in your file *print("Hello World")* and *echo exec('C:\Python34\python.exe C:\wamp\www\python\genereBonDeCommande.py');* and see the result – Adrian Cid Almaguer Jun 08 '15 at 10:23

Here is the solution, to create a file there is to put this line :

fichier = open("C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9/data/localweb/projects/Administration/bonsDeCommandes/No15.txt","w");

w creates a file if it doesn't exist already and write over if it does exist

instead of this one :

fichier = open(repertoire+"C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9/data/localweb/projects/Administration/bonsDeCommandes" + nom_fichier, "No13");
