How to break down tuple from Python to PHP -

i'm using http post request codeigniter python , return tuple mysql python

codeigniter controller:

$data['email'] = $this->input->post("email"); $url = 'http://domain/path'; $data = array('email' => $data['email']);  // use key 'http' if send request https://... $options = array(     'http' => array(     'header'  => "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",     'method'  => 'post',     'content' => http_build_query($data),     ), ); $context  = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);  var_dump($result); 

python code:

elif self.path=="/forgotpass":     print "forgot password module"     form = cgi.fieldstorage(         fp=self.rfile,          headers=self.headers,         environ={'request_method':'post',                  'content_type':self.headers['content-type'],         })     self.send_response(200)     self.send_header('content-type','text/html')     self.send_header("access-control-allow-origin","http://domain")     self.end_headers()     #print form['email'].value     email = str(form["email"].value)     sql = "select email_address, personal_id personal_info email_address='"+email+"'"     result = validate(sql)     print result     #print email;     self.wfile.write(result)   def validate(sql):     try:         db = mysqldb.connect("localhost","root","password","schema" )         cnn = db.cursor()         cnn.execute(sql)         return cnn.fetchone()          cnn.close()          except mysqldb, e:         print "error validate function" 

the display is, think string format.

string(36) "('jerahmeel.acebuche@smsgt.com', 2l)" 

in simple codeigniter connecting model.

the result of array mysql is:

array (column => value) etc etc..

you display array using foreach , $item->data;

but result came python tuple , returning php different approach.

how break tuple in php? or should break on python , return php?
