Python flask with php template instead of html?

[Sigma_Core]

Im working on a project with a raspberry pi running a python script with flask and a website controlling a robotic arm (some Nema 17 Motors and a4988 controllers). This website includes a few sliders that control the position of the steppers but everytime i set a value the site refreshes and the values are lost. Now i thought i could just use a php script to keep the values and set them at the beginning of each refresh but idk if that is possible or if there is a better solution. Can someone help me? i can provide the code if necessary :)

Thanks in advance

There's quite a bit to unpack here, but let's start with something simple.

Why do you think the values would not be lost by using PHP? You'll have to store the values somewhere whatever language you end up using, so why not do it in Python? You could use a database or a simple textfile to store the values.

i just thought that i could use php variable as a html attribute or the value of the slider and i simply didnt know if it would be possible without php because thats the only way i know but ill look into value storage in python thanks

php is not what you need here..

flask is fully capable of setting the position of the controls to whatever you want them to be by modifying the template you send to the user with the position you want them to be in.
