Hey people and Happy new year,
It's crazy try to execute python pylab from an script PHP. After several hours looking for a solution I got it.
If we want to exec a python script from PHP which imports the matplotlib it's necesary to add a couple of extra lines to our code.
Before testing your script from the server try to do it on the terminal:
It works for me.
Note: If you want to download and compile matplotlib by yourself, you can download it from:

# To import pylab
os.environ[ 'MPLCONFIGDIR' ] = '/tmp/'
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
import pylab
Before testing your script from the server try to do it on the terminal:
sudo -u www-data php script_name.php
It works for me.
Note: If you want to download and compile matplotlib by yourself, you can download it from:
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/matplotlib/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.1/matplotlib-1.1.1.tar.gz
Decompress , build and execute as root the command:
python setup.py install
Hope help!
