Question

I am very new to C++ and using Unix. I have a doubt that can we use C++ like JSP. For example consider a login page, Java script validate user inputs and passes that to C++ then C++ will check with database and return result html page. Can i do like this? If yes please help me how to do that. Thank you.

A programming language is a programming language. You just need a way to get the web server to pass data to and get data from the program you write.

Options include:

• CGI is the simple, but slow and inefficient (because the server has to spawn a new process for every request), way.
• FastCGI is better, but a bit more complicated.
• Writing an Apache module is probably the hardest, but gives you a huge amount of power
