btw, thanks for the help, I understand the second point quite clearly now, just need to figure out the first. Unfortunately the people who write these specifications often don't seem to really know what they're talking about themselves.

Web server scripts is just the specs way of referring to server-side scripts such as using php.

I am trying to get my head around the specification for a course my college is running (i'm not teaching it but am in charge of course quality). Two of the advantages identified about using web server scripting in the specification are: Run as lower overhead code inside web server plugins Hide web server interface inside economical APIs I am unsure as to what these two specific things are as benefits and I was hoping someone on this site might be able to help me understand. I do have a generally good knowledge of web server scripting so I figure that my lack of understanding is down to the wording. I apologise if I have posted this on the wrong forum. I would be most grateful for any help that is offered. Thanks
