    Why do you have quotes around `shell_exec(`? That prevents calling the function. – Barmar Feb 27 '18 at 18:11
  • ohh yes .. well i have tried that but it shows no output. is there any path argument error in function or anything else...? or should i use something other than print() in py...? – androfive Feb 27 '18 at 18:21

Don't put quotes around the function call. That turns it into a literal string, not a call to the function. Windows pathnames don't use a / before the drive letter, so the path should start with C:. And there shouldn't be a space after Project.

echo shell_exec("C:/xampp/htdocs/Ai_Edutech_trial_project/eclipse_workspace/Project/check.py '$para1' '$para2'");

Also, if you're just going to echo the result, you can use the passthru function instead.

  • Get rid of `/` before `C:` – Barmar Feb 27 '18 at 18:33

I had a similar problem. Solved it by adding the word python in front of the path to the python script. As in: 

echo shell_exec("python C:/xampp/htdocs/Ai_Edutech_trial_project/eclipse_workspace/Project/check.py '$para1' '$para2'");
