CGI vs ...?
Hi all
Looking to learn more about CGI. what is CGI? - i know what it is roughly -common gateway interface- and it has to do with dynamic content on the web using usually Perl scripting. I have a background in web development with seemingly more modern technologies as ASP, PHP, XML, AJAX, JSON, etc but know little to nothing about CGIs can anyone explain what the difference is? is CGI even the same ball park as the aforementioned technologies? is one better or worse? if so why? I ask because I work for a site running on php and we were bought out and the plans are to move my site to the same technology as the parent company's CGI based site instead - it seems completely backwards to me but i dont know anythign about CGI... so... Please educate me with any thoughts concerns and or insights as to my ignorance. Cheers

CGI is the Common Gateway Interface, and anything that interacts with a webserver is using the CGI (it might not be called that, but they are)
You can write CGI programs in Perl/PHP/C/Pascal ... COBOL, ALGOL, BASIC as long as your webserver is set up to deal with it. There's likely a more uptodate version of this somewhere, but this is the first google found Have Fun, and BTW, Perl's not so bad
