Hello, I was wondering if it possible to write a CGI script in C/C++ ? Would it be something like this:
==================
#(path the perl)
cout << "hello world!";
==================
That would'nt work though would it, if it is possible to write a CGI script in C/C++, please could someone show me a hello world! example, thanks.
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, you can write CGI scripts completely in C and quite a few of the ones out there are done this way. I'm not sure about the interface to get it to run on the net as I've never done one though.
-Prelude
EXTRA!!!
What Prelude just said, is correct, but he forgot to tell you one small, yet important part:
You need to compile the c/c++ code first, with gcc (on Unix/Linux machine of course, because i never saw a site running on windows(with iis server) using cgi), and then rename the file's type (*.out) to *.cgi and voilla you just wrote a cgi script in c/c++.
I only tried that with c, and never c++, but i guess it's the same!
