Checking the output of a Python script on a PHP website.

Hello,

I'm making a website in PHP for a schoolproject of mine. In this project I want to make a sort of Quiz about pieces of Python code, like the test you get when taking a course here on TeamTreehouse. I need my PHP website to do three things:

  1. The user needs to be able to type Python code in a on-page editor/IDE.
  2. The output from that Python script needs to be checked and I want to be able to use an If-function in PHP to tell the user if the output is correct.
  3. If something was wrong I need to be able to echo the output from the Python console with PHP onto the website. I know the basics of both these languages but this is something I can't figure out. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance!

Ivan
