How to render_template a .php file?

Hi @Louis

In order for the community to suggest ideas to help you solve your code issue it would be useful to share a link to your Repl.

Any error messages that you see appear when you attempt to run your code would also be useful to share here.

main.py

from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
  return render_template('home.php')

app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)

templates/home.php

<?php echo "hello" ?>

it will show:

Thanks @Louis

From the screenshot it looks like you have solved this. Can you confirm please or - post a link to your Repl containing the Flask code so we can investigate?

is there any reason you can’t just use a PHP repl as you seem to be doing in the screenshot?
Run in shell:

sed -i "s/];/    pkgs.php\n  &/" replit.nix

Then, in code:

from subprocess import check_output
...
  return check_output(["php", "templates/home.php"])

I personally think that python flask can better help me create a website, but I want to use php at the same time
