RE: [PHP] CGI Question?

This has been true since CGI began in the NSCA days. Any program that can take input from STDIN and output to STDOUT works as a CGI program. Languages I have actually used in the CGI bin include, C, C++, AWK, Sh, PHP and of course Perl. The C program simply has to deal with the CGI variables coming in on STDIN. There are probably many C libraries available to help parse this out into an array or something. This is actually a very good method if you want the fastest speed possible form a web application. Compile the C program statically for the best speed.
