Making your own server side program like PHP

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Making your own server side program like PHP

Post by nickvh »

I noticed how when enabling PHP in IIS or Abyss, etc. that you make requests with .php goto php's dll or exe. How would you go about making a program that would take, lets say, .do and pass it to a program, doit.exe
How does program retrieve the data and give it back to apache, or ISS etc.? I know it's probably to complicated to explain here so if anyone has any resources that would be great.

Ok, first thing is that you should search Google groups for information available on usenet. I'm sure somebody has asked this before on usenet (it's just a matter of finding it). Of particular interest may be the alt.apache.configuration newsgroup. Finally, read the apache documentation until you know it backwards and forwards.

(Oh, and I'm fairly certain you want to use the AddHandler directive to point to a CGI file)
