passing $_POST variable with subprocess.Popen

Question

I have a python script which executes a php script, but I wish to pass variables:

my python:

cmd = ["php /mypath/myphp.php"]
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

my php:

$param1=$_POST['param1'];
$param2=$_POST['param2'];

How to I actually pass the arguments, please?

Answer 1

You should use popen in Python and $argv[] in PHP

Python Script

import os

value1 = 'test'
value2 = 'test2'
cmd = rf'php /mypath/myphp.php {value1} {value2}'
os.popen(cmd)

PHP Script

<?php

var_dump($argv); //['myphp.php', 'test', 'test2']
echo "Value1: ".$argv[1];
echo "Value2: ".$argv[2];

?>
