Yes, I supose you can extract the needed information from the django Request object and call the php script passing the needed variables as environment state. as a guideline you can do something like cmd = ( 'REDIRECT_STATUS=200 ' 'REQUEST_METHOD=GET ' 'SCRIPT_FILENAME=htdocs/index.php ' 'SCRIPT_NAME=/index.php ' 'PATH_INFO=/ ' 'SERVER_NAME=site.tld ' 'SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1 ' 'REQUEST_URI=/nl/page ' 'HTTP_HOST=site.tld ' '/usr/bin/php-cgi' ) subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) -- Marc
