cgi in c question

Use a server side include. Don''t know if SSI''s work the same for all servers, but on Apache you do it like this.

<!--#include virtual="test.exe" -->

Maybe im getting this wrong or maybe its cause im using IIS but i tryed just entering the line you gave me into the html where i want test.exe to add its html but that didnt work.
Thanks for the hint though i''ll try googling for this.

I dont know IIS but try renaming your file to .shtml and changing
<!--#include virtual="test.exe" -->
to <!--#exec cgi="test.exe"-->

In what way did it not work? Error? Is the include directive still in the file?

Thanks sark.

C/C++ is my preferred syntax, its what i programm the fastest in. Plus it gives me complete controll, there isnt much you cant do. Ive looked into php just recently and thats pretty good too, powerfull and keeping the Syntax. I dont much like the asp syntax. Seems to me php is the perfect solution for me, however it doesnt hurt to know how to integrate c, in case php wont do.

First: CGI/Web programming is 70% text manipulation. Why then choose the language with the lousiest text manipulation support?

Second: CGI/Web programming is about providing a server thats publicly available on the internet. Why then choose the language that is the most vulnerable to buffer overflow exploits?

You''ve got a point. I''m convinced.
