A client that is accessing your page never sees your PHP. they just see an html file with a form in it. when they submit the form, the python file will be called and its output will be displayed in the client's browser. I can think of a roundabout way to do what you want:
PHP file returns a form to the client. when this form is submitted to the py file, all of the data your py script needs is sent in the query string or whatever. the py file does whatever it does, and then inside the html it returns to the client, it includes an instant redirect back to the PHP file with whatever data you want to return. However, this is a bad way to go about it. You should be able to use python scripts on the server side without relying on the client's browser to pass data. Not exactly sure how to, though. May depend on your OS. -Luke _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
