[FIXED] How could I launch my scrapy script with PHP?

Issue

this is for example my script ,i type "scrapy crawl quotes" in the shell to execute it , so how can i launch this command in php ?

import scrapy
class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = "quotes"
start_urls = [
    'http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/1/',
    'http://quotes.toscrape.com/page/2/',
]

def parse(self, response):
    for quote in response.css('div.quote'):
        yield {
            'text': quote.css('span.text::text').extract_first(),
            'author': quote.css('small.author::text').extract_first(),
            'tags': quote.css('div.tags a.tag::text').extract(),
        }

Solution

If I understand you correctly, the correct way to run php files in command line is

php file.php

If this is not what you are asking for please clarify.

EDIT

<?php
$output = shell_exec('scrapy crawl quotes');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

This will run the terminal command in php.
