Python HTML data passing

[question0mark]

Hello all. I am very new to python, and to programming in general. However, I have a master's degree that depends on the success of this project, and am confused as to how to get it working.

I am creating a website to process data from user-uploaded files.

The basic sense of it all is that a user enters their U/N, password, and the location of the file, with a few other factors (filetype, usergroup...). This file is then uploadewd to a MySQL database as a longtext field. This part is written in PHP. I would like it to redirect to a python script for calculation, but i don't know how to even begin doing it. If someone could help me to understand how to pass data between HTML field, or PHP global vars (like $HTML_POST_VARS) and a python script, that would be greatly appreciated.

-?

Look in the manual for the 'cgi' module.

import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage()

for key in form.keys():
  print "%s = %s" % ( key, form[ key ] )
