    using c++ for web output

    Hi,

    I want to make it in such a way, that when I call: http://myserver.tld:3000, a website opens. This isn't difficult at all when I use apache (the webserver I'll be using). However, when this page is called, I want a c++ programm to think of the output that should be given to the user.

    How do I do that?

    regards,

    The freak

    When you say think of an output what do you mean?
    Intelligence is Knowledge, but Wisdom is Depth.
    Stupidity is overwhelming.

    Say that I want for example to change config files on the server, and after that, sends it's progress through apache to the browser of the client.

    Pick a more secure language before your doubts open up a big security hole in your system would be my advice.

    Perhaps this is what you want http://www.w3.org/CGI/
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I solved it already by doing it like this:
    PHP Code:
    <?php
    $output 
    system("./a.out var1 var2");
    echo 
    $output;
    ?>
    This works.

    However, Now I need to run my a.out as a specific linux system user, how should I do that?
