[SOLVED] Calling OpenCV python script with php page

Issue

I am trying to run a Python Script for Image Detection Via a php page and to catch and display the output generated by py script.

Here is my python script href="https://github.com/MicrocontrollersAndMore/OpenCV_3_License_Plate_Recognition_Python/blob/master/Main.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GITHUB LINK

I am running the python script using this code :

$command = escapeshellcmd('sudo python Main.py');
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;

This is producing this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Main.py", line 3, in <module>
    import cv2
ImportError: No module named cv2

****But the same script works fine when executed independently with terminal. I have used anaconda for installation of Opencv****

Thanks in advance :)

Solution

Anaconda creates separate environment so you need to start your script using python copy from that enviroment

$command = escapeshellcmd('sudo /home/path_to_anacondad_env/python Main.py');
