CGI and C++

[Jules]

I have a web interface that I need to link with my c++ program. Can anyone tell me how to link the two of them either using CGI or dll.

The program needs two parameters 1. File name 2. user name. The program then processes the information and spits out some results that needs to be displayed back on the screen.

Can anyone tell me how you pass parameters to a CGI program as well as how to create one that will be helpful. Please give coding examples if possible.

Look into the CGIC library. It will allow you to compile C (and I'm assuming C++ also) code as CGI scripts.

There are two ways to pass data to a CGI script. You can use the GET or POST method.
Example of the form:

<form name="blah" method="post">
<input name="name" type="text"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>

To access the parameters as a string you would use the global variable cgiQueryString.
