How to pass multiple variable from php to python script

Question

I need help on this x-x

assuming my php has 3 variables

<?php
$var1 = "1";
$var2 = "2";
$var3 = "3";
?>

So on the "exec" part im a bit stuck and confused, how do i pass those 3 variable into my python script, and how do i receive those 3 variables in my python script?

my python script will be script to insert data into sqlite, but for this you can just assume the python script is to print out the variables received. I will edit it later :D — Natsume

You just pass them as command line arguments:

exec ( "/path/to/python/script.py $var1 $var2 $var3" );

Then in your Python script you can read them like this:

import sys

print sys.argv[1] # first parameter
print sys.argv[2] # second parameter
print sys.argv[3] # third parameter

Btw: sys.argv[0] contains the name of your script, that is why you start with index 1.
