Is it possible to run a Python script within PHP and transferring variables from each other ?
I have a class that scraps websites for data in a certain global way. i want to make it go a lot more specific and already have pythons scripts specific to several website.
I am looking for a way to incorporate those inside my class.
Is safe and reliable data transfer between the two even possible ? if so how difficult it is to get something like that going ?
For me the escapeshellarg(json_encode($data)) is giving not exactly a json-formatted string, but something like { name : Carl , age : 23 }.
So in python i need to .replace(' ', '"') the whitespaces to get some real json and be able to cast the json.loads(sys.argv[1]) on it.
The problem is, when someone enters a name with already whitespaces in it like "Ca rl".
