CGI


Recommended Posts

Very new to CGI. I've got some webspace with streamline.net. They actually have a test cgi script and they upload it for you in the CGI-BIN, and seen as it's their file I doubt there'll be any mistakes with it. So it's uploaded at:

 

http://www.adamswork.net/cgi-bin/test-sln.cgi

 

However when I try to view the file, as it will with you, just displays the script as text...

 

Is there something I'm missing or haven't done? As I say very new to CGI just having my first real play with it today...

 

Cheers, Adam!

That doesn't look like (in  fact it is not) the script itself, but the output of a script. The script seems to simply display some environment variables.

 

Also, you might want to take note that cgi isn't a language, but an interface provided for interaction with other software from within a webserver. You can write cgi enabled scripts in many languages including php as long as the server is configured for it.
