Common Gateway Interface
CGI Scripts
Common Gateway Interface is a standard that allows information to be executed in real time, so it can output dynamic information. It allows information to be sent to the client (user) who has requested the relevant database (web page).
An example is when a user buys on-line through a shopping cart and goes to checkout, the information supplied from the user in the HTML web page is processed using JavaScript. The CGI Script allows this information to be sent to the supplier and allows an email to be sent to the user confirming their order.
These CGI Scripts can be written in the following languages: PERL, C, C++ or FORTRAN.
