What is CGI?
An abbreviation for Common Gateway Interface, CGI refers to the way
most Web servers communicate with scripts or programs. CGI is most commonly used
in forms requiring the user to input information. This data is put into an HTML
form by a script and can be utilized by the programmer in various ways. Perl is
the language most commonly used to write CGI scripts; all of the scripts in the
CGI Library are written in Perl. CGI is not itself a programming language; it's
more of a protocol for communication between the Web server and a script. |
