asked on

got a tip for me ? (CGI)

Hi, everybody :-)
I want to create a web page where visitors can search through a database for a String. (Full-Text-Search)
I guess the best way to do this is CGI, right ?
If so, could somebody give me some hints (URLs?) on how to write CGI Scripts? I know C++, Pascal and Delphi, so programming is not all new to me.
Also: Can I write CGI Scripts with a normal editor ?

Greetings, Oli

What kind of server?  If it is on NT, you can use ASP which is very easy and has a very easy connectivity to SQL and access databases.

Hi, MasseyM
Thanx for your answer.
I planed on running it on an Apache server, but NT could fit my needs also.
I'll bother altavista for "ASP" and check on this.
Do you have any good links on ASP ?

Greetings, Oli
If you have Active Server Pages installed, you can, like I said, connect to the SQL and Access databases VERY easily.  You can pass SQL statements and everything will work wonderfully.  

Hmmm... ASP links?
activeserverpages.com
asphole.com
microsoft.com

or just search for ASP on the web.
