Execute python in a php script using shell_exec()

Question

I\'m experiencing a weird problem in trying to execute python in a php server (LAMP). (safe_mode off)

if I type:

$output = shell_exec(\"ls -lah\");

Answer 1

I think you need to refer to the full path for your python.

for example use this instead:

$output = shell_exec("/usr/bin/python full_path/my_script.py")

instead of:

$output = shell_exec("python my_script.py");
