I followed all the directions in this post and I still cannot get a result to display. I know PHP is doing something, because there is no text displayed whatsoever. The result has a header and no body content. When the plugin is disabled, it displays the shortcode as plain text.
<?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
/* Plugin Name: Python embedded */
add_shortcode( 'python', 'embed_python' );
function embed_python( $attributes )
{
$data = shortcode_atts(
array(
'file' => 'hello.py'
),
$attributes
);
$handle = popen( __DIR__ . '/' . $data['file'], 'r');
$read = fread($handle, 2096);
pclose($handle);
return $read;
}
I uploaded hello.py and Python.php to the plugins folder and made sure the plugin was properly activated.
In my post editor I have: [python file="hello.py"].
