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)
