I am running a Python application under apache web server, executing as a cgi script. Most of the output is print statements that write HTML.
I'd like to embed some PHP code within the HTML. The PHP is a gallery plugin script that talks to the core photo gallery application, written in php. The idea is that my python app can display a random image from a photo album, using the photo gallery application's plugin script. If I do: 'print "<?php ... ?>"', it doesn't work. I imagine because the web server never sees it as php code. Is there a way to do this? Some possible ideas: Is there a way I can get python to call functions within a PHP app? Perhaps write the plugin in a separate script in PHP, and include that page within my output so that apache recognises the page inclusion? How to get apache to pay attention to the output so it "wakes up" and does some server-side includes? Many thanks for any help. -- NickC -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
