I have a python program on remote server. I need to create a web page (html code present in same directory as that of python script on server) having a button on clicking which python script should run. One more thing is that we need to choose a file from local machine after which the python script takes that file as input, runs and outputs another file which needs to be displayed on web page.
I don't know what to use javascript or ajax or php to achieve this. I tried out different ways but in vain.
This is the html code I have been trying with...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
// var file = $('#fileInput')[0].files[0]
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append('fileInput', file);
// console.log(fd)
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: "./summarize.py",
data: "fd"
success: function (response) {
}
// error: function (response) {}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Upload reviews file</h3>
<input type="file" id="fileInput" name="fileInput">
<p>Click the "Get summary" button to summarize the reviews.</p>
<button>Get summary</button>
</body>
</html>I have searched online but no where the answer was specific (I felt so). Since I am new to javascript, I have trouble in following them. Someone kindly explain what is to be done.
Thank you.

I think you can use php exec, to run Python and your summarize.py script.
<?php
// @result array
exec("python summarize.py", $result);
PHP exec will return you result. Also you can use django or other frameworks to run your Python code.
