"Easiest" of course depends on lots of things, and mostly on
specifics that you haven't told us, and your personal preference.

Two obvious possibilities that come to mind are "write a file
somewhere from PHP and poll for updates from Python", and
"use sockets (TCP)" or "use UDP".

Maybe if you can describe more about what you need (e.g. what
form will this "control" take?) some even simpler suggestions
will come to mind.
