Python + PHP. Sending data from "Moodle" (php) to python CGI-script and get it back - stanislav - May-07-2022 I installed Learning Managment System (LMS) 'Moodle' to XAMPP local server. And there is instrument for file downloading, called "filepicker". I want to pass text, received from 'filepicker' instrument (uploading .txt files only) from LMS Moodle to python-CGI script, process it, get the processed data back, and echo it on a page. Using: OS - Windows 10. Local server: Apache/2.4.53 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1n PHP/7.4.28 python 3.10.4 I made var_dump($content); of uploaded file, So it is definitely a string: string(828) "..........my text here............" Also I clearly know, that my CGI script work if i manually input data in it,like: http://localhost/speciallocation/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext=Enter your text here Output: ['Enter', 'your', 'text', 'here'] But when I press submit button, I only get the name of my file, since I don't transmit it to CGI, but simply echo it. If just echo content of file, It also works. It brings me to think, that there is something wrong with send&get data part....... Any thoughts people? Maybe I am doing somethig wrong at the very basics? Like POST vs GET method? Or something else? My php code: <?php require_once(DIR . '/../../config.php'); require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/local/tokenize/classes/forms/tokenization.php'); $PAGE->set_url(new moodle_url('/local/tokenize/tokenization.php')); $PAGE->set_context(\context_system::instance()); $PAGE->set_title(get_string('TOKENIZATOR', 'local_tokenize')); $mform= new tokenization(); echo $OUTPUT->header(); if ($mform->is_cancelled()) { //Handle form cancel operation, if cancel button is present on form } else if ($fromform = $mform->get_data()) { //In this case you process validated data. $mform->get_data() returns data posted in form. $name = $mform->get_new_filename('userfile'); echo $name. '<br>'; $content = $mform->get_file_content('userfile'); //echo $content; var_dump($content); $morgot_link = "http://localhost/diplom/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext=" . $content; $morgot_data = file_get_contents($morgot_link); echo $morgot_data; } else { // this branch is executed if the form is submitted but the data doesn't validate and the form should be redisplayed // or on the first display of the form. //displays the form $mform->display(); } echo $OUTPUT->footer();My CGI python code: #!C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310-32\python.exe import os import urllib.parse import nltk query_dict = urllib.parse.parse_qs(os.environ['QUERY_STRING']) input_something = str(query_dict['someamountoftext'])[2: -2] def tknz_wrd(someamountoftext): return(nltk.word_tokenize(someamountoftext)) print("Content-Type: text/html\n") print (tknz_wrd(input_something))morgot.py - the name of my CGI python file. Addition: I checked if the $content of file is being placed into $morgot_link: $morgot_link = "http://localhost/diplom/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext=" . $content; echo $morgot_link; Yes, the output for this is correct: http://localhost/diplom/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext=...........many text here............. It pushes me to think, that the problem is with receiving part (But I don't completely deny probability with sending part issue). Also I think there could be some kinds of restrictions\permissions in Moodle to recieve data like that.

I also tried curl, replacing $morgot_data = file_get_contents($morgot_link); like this: $postfields = $content; $url="http://localhost/diplom/local/tokenize/morgot.py?someamountoftext="; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); $result = curl_exec($ch); echo $result;Did not help.
