C++ and The Web
Author
Can Some one please give me a simple example of how to link a C++ program to the web. As a CGI program, or any other way you know how. I would like it to retive a small amount of data, but a counter program would be good to.
you need a web host that allows you to run CGI-BIN scripts/programs. until you have that you can''t do anything.
you should also look into PHP or Jsp/Java. those also require special permissions / setups on the webserver, but are a better way to go about introducing computer code-type logic into webpages

Probably, u should read little about dynamic/cgi programming. Try PHP first, to get sense of web programming. Then migrate to C/C++. There are several libraries that could help u in data manipulation:

cgi programs are fairly simple
If memory serves, they''re basically the equivalent of console programs (although I don''t remember if querystring/form data is passed on stdin or argv[])
But to write the HTML output, just cout or printf() it.

I think GET (querystring) is generally passed as the argv[] and POST (form data) is usually passed as stdin.
