Example usage

Write the below content in a file and save it with extension .dp (Direct-Python)

hello.dp

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Python Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
<?dp 
print('<p>Hello World</p>')
a = "~DP_GET['name']"  # using double quotes accepts string
# count = ~DP_GET['total'] to get integer
# userId = ~DP_POST['userId'] to get POST params
?>
<hr>
<p>Hello!
<?dp 
print(a)
?>
</p>
    </body>
</html>

⚠️ While embedding python code be aware of indents.

Just like PHP, you need to use dp after the question mark. Save the file in your root /var/www/html and access it through localhost/hello.dp
