Let’s say you have a website that needs to display some data. You might have a database filled with the information, and you want to show this on your website. This is where PHP comes in.
Let’s say the same thing, but now we need to do some sort of calculation with the data before displaying it. This is where Python comes in.
Yes, you can.
Yes! You can embed Python in PHP and vice versa. This enables you to use a language to run another language's scripts or access its system functions. In effect, this allows you to connect the two engines together without requiring them both on the same machine.
Let's start with some simple examples of how you might integrate PHP and Python using the aforementioned methods:
Embedding Python in PHP: This is one of the most popular ways for developers who are new to web programming to use both languages simultaneously in a project. It's easy because it requires no server configuration changes; simply embedding your Python code into PHP lets you call it from JavaScript as though it were just another JavaScript function!
Embedding PHP into Python: If your site is already written in Django or Flask and needs some additional functionality like image manipulation or video streaming, then embedding these libraries may be helpful for adding more functionality than what comes out-of-the-box with Django/Flask alone (which includes plenty).
