Shouldn't this board be called 'CGI: PERL, PHP, ASP help'?Zef Hemel November 12th, 2000, 12:21 For as far as I know perl != CGI and are php and asp also CGI languages. Or am I wrong? Nick November 12th, 2000, 12:34 Perl is the language that some CGI scripts are written in. As far as I know, ASP and PHP are comepletely different languages. Zef Hemel November 12th, 2000, 13:00 Yes but they all come to your browser through the Common Gateway Interface. Koolguy November 12th, 2000, 13:02 Correct me if im wrong but php and asp have nothing to do with cgi in any shape or form, besides being a server side language. Zef Hemel November 12th, 2000, 13:05 And PERL has? You do agree that c programs executed are CGI programmes huh? KapTinKiRk November 12th, 2000, 13:15 From what I know, CGI scripts can be written in C, C++, Perl, and some other languages. But ASP, PHP, ColdFusion etc. are a totally different thing. It's like saying HTML is CGI too, well, not really, but whatever. Zef Hemel November 12th, 2000, 13:22 Hmm, sounds reasonable :) Maybe you're right. sparkfan12 November 12th, 2000, 17:32 Hi, I was reading these forums, and thought I would reply. theyre totally seperate things. CGI is Common Gateway Interface, PHP is Professional Home Pages, and ASP is Active Server Pages. Now they don't sound alike, do they? I can install PHP and a web server on my machine and have a host with PHP. I don't need Perl to be installed. Trust me, they're not the same thing... -------- YaBB--The future of online bulletin board software with huge---- security holes :D Seriously-when are you gonna fix that?

I thought I'd reply since you have some innaccurate information. CGI does indeed stand for Common Gateway Interface -- it includes Perl, C++, C or any program that needs to be run on the server as a separate process and then the input exported to the browser. PHP, which incidently stands for Personal Home Page (not Professional Home Pages), and ASP are preprocessers -- not CGI. The forum name is correct. mjk@atlascgi.com http://www.atlascgi.com/ | ||||
