Now
we are getting to the technical stuff! If you want to
do any of the following, you will need to use CGI:
- Set-up
your own counter
- Set-up
your own guest book
- Process
forms
- Offer
a virtual card service to all browsers
CGI
allows you to get your visitors to send information to
your web server, which then processes the information
and sends back a web page, which has been modified by
that information. The processing is done at the server,
rather than the visitor's computer. To use CGI, you will
need:
- A
server which allows CGI access - check your own web
server and see if they allow this. If not, there are
a number of 'free' servers on the web which will grant
this. Check out Virtual
Avenue and Hypermart.
If you are setting up a commercial site, then, you
should request CGI access from which ever server you
purchase web space on.
You need to learn a programming language, the most widely
used one seems to be Perl - sorry, we're not offering
information on Perl
at this time, but BigNoseBird
is a site which will.
