Where
you are: CGI:
Keeping to the Script CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface which is basically a method for running programs or scripts on a Web server. CGI scripts allow viewers to interact with web pages and a server. The program is triggered by input coming from the browser and usually accesses some sort of database to serve up a customized response, depending on the data being fed to it. The actions do not have to be performed by one script but can be done by multiple scripts. Each script performs part of the overall action to create the final result. These scripts can do things like search a database, leave comments on a site or enable folks to chat online. CGI scripts are usually accessed in one of two ways; directly or as the
Action method to a form. Both of these kinds of scripts have similar behaviors
but do very different things. If you've ever used a fill-in form or search
engine on the Web then you've utilized a CGI script of one kind or another.
