I don't think Ivan understood correctly, because it most certainly can be
done with php at the server. Just call the python script via exec() or
system() in the form handler, once you've detected that the button was
clicked.
<form action="execute_python.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" />
</form>
<form action="execute_python.php" method="post">
checkboxeses:
<input type="checkbox" name="foo1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo3" />
<input type="checkbox" name="foo4" />
<input type="submit" name="submit2" />
</form>
execute_python.php should be something like
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit1'])){
exec('/path/to/the/python/script/my_python.py');
}
if(isset($_POST['submit2'])){
exec('/path/to/the/python/script/my_other_python.py');
}
?>
