How to use python to run php [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I have a php script that runs well.

php

include_once "lib/m2x.php";

$api_key = "API KEY";
$feed_id = "FEED ID";
$stream  = "something";

$m2x = new M2X($api_key);

$data = array(
  'value' => 992.23,
  'unit'  => array('label' => 'Celsius')
);
$response = $m2x->feeds()->update_stream('FEED ID', $stream, $data);

?>

However, I want to be able to update the 'value' variable from my raspberry pi, then rerun the script to send that data. Is there a way in python to update this variable (getting data in from GPIO) then run the php script?

Thanks, Mihir

import os
value = 992.23
os.system("php /path/to/your/file.php %s"%(value))

'value' => $argv[1],
