I’m trying to call a Python script in a PHP file and pass a variable value from that script after pressing the submit button. I have it:
index.php
JavaScript
x
<html><body><form method="post"> <input type="submit"></form><?phpif ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { putenv("HOME=/"); exec('python test.py'); echo $x;}?></body></html>test.py
JavaScript
x = 'ass'Both files are in the same folder. Why is it not working? I’d like to do this without Flask / Django.

You can’t declare a variable in Python and use it directly in PHP after execution. Try to output your variable in Python:
JavaScript
x = 'test' print(x)Now you can get the result of your script by the return value of the exec function:
JavaScript
$x = exec('python test.py'); echo $x;
