Working with PHP and CGI

[tph]

Hello forom,

 

I'm hoping there is help for a problem I'm facing. I need to know if I can write an addon in PHP for a script that is written in CGI. I know nothing about CGI scripts but I have a license for a brilliant search engine script that needs extra functionality, so ideally I'd like to build a mod in PHP because its the only language I half understand.

 

The CGI script is called Poweseek SQL - Search end directory script

 

Poweseek SQL presently takes care of all the reciprocals etc between it and the sites it links to. What I would like it to do is enable the link owners to negotiate links among themselves in an automated fashion.

 

Is this a PHP possibilty or do I have to a) Learn CGI or b) Find a suitable PHP script and modify that.

 

I really would like to keep Poweseek SQL if I can. It's money wasted all the time it isn't in production!

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this, all advice welcomed
