# 08-12 PHP Python data transmission

Today I worked on sending data from PHP to the python statistics worker in another docker container. Via the redis memory database it is possible to publish information that can be handled by the python script. The tricky part was to set up the networking between containers since hostnames and ports are separate from the host system (no localhost) when using a docker bridge network. The next step will be to evaluate the data by defining the optimization function, getting beacon coordinates from SQL and optimizing the function with the provided data.
