@Niklas D It would be easier to answer your question, if you can give some more context about the application or use case you want to solve.

Some further possibilities are:

Glue Code (I never did it with python and php only C++ with python, but you should be able to find examples on the internet e.g. https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages#PHP )

Messaging Systems like RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, ZeroMQ, etc.

Redis (I know you said except writing to a database, but Redis provides some features for publish subscribe https://redis.io/commands/pubsub which allows you to write to Redis from the one side and get data on the other side without polling the db all the time, which is the issue you have with using a database I guess) It's a bit easier to setup and use, than a messaging system.

TCP connection between the python and php application. https://medium.com/swlh/lets-write-a-chat-app-in-python-f6783a9ac170

If you want to send data to a python application using web protocols, i.e send POST, GET requests etc then you need to create a python web app to receive and handle those requests. Which in turn needs to be running off a webserver or you could build serverless functions to handle this, see https://serverless.com/

If you want to get data using a python application, i.e the python app sends POST and GET requests etc to your php app to ask for the JSON payload you can build an app using python's standard requests library https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html or better still us the Requests package http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/

Or you could do something and save the JSON file to disk and then open it with your python app. You'd need to set up scheduling or make your php app execute python code on the server... This last suggestion is a bad idea please don't unless your app is isolated and not publicly accessible or you know how to lock down your security.
