Hi,
I want to learn CGI programming. I just need some newbie guidance.
I am using Windows XP Professional, and have installed Apache
successfully.
Can someone please guide me regarding what else do I need to do
to get started with CGI? I've heard that any language can be used
for CGI programming. (C, C++ etc.)
I have downloaded Python and Perl. Can these be used for CGI
programming? and how can I integrate them with Apache for doing
CGI programming? I'm planning to use python, because almost everyone
has told me it's a simple language.
Some light on Apache, CGI, Python and integrating them would be
helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that I'm not getting responses because we are supposed to discuss only Microsoft
Technologies here and not open source.
If that's the case, then I guess I'll have to ask elsewhere.

Mate PHP is a much better way to start of with web languages. If you need guidance in it just send me an email.

But I've been told that raw CGI with C (or python for that matter) can be
180% percent faster than PHP, and near about 350% faster than ASP.
Then why should I learn PHP just for the sake of programming simplicity?
I agree it's an easy way, but end clients wouldn't care whether it's PHP
or Ruby on Rails doing the work.
For them, it's about speed and reliability. And regarding the aspect of
difficulty: The term 'easy/better language' is bs, if you'll excuse the
expression.
Any language is easy as long as you are playing with ints and designing
nice games of tic-tac-toe. When you want full fledged concurrency control
techniques to handle a pool of persitent connections, or low level control
and deep operating system hooks, it will get complex in any language. Anyone
who argues with that is a moron.
So I might as well start with something which can scale up to millions of
documents and provide blazing fast performance, fast enough to leave ASP, PHP
JSP and the likes eating dust. 
Peace.

The stats you have seen are rubbish. As of PHP 5 it can run just as fast 95% of the time. An example of it in use is Google and YouTube and Flickr, The last two in particular are an excellent example of extremely high load applications in the language.
Not to mention I can code an application in PHP within 200 lines that would take over a thousand in CGI languages. PHP is optimized for power as a server side application, and it's customization allows you to write your own functions that are compiled into the core compiler with little more then 50 lines.
PHP is certainly a major player in the web and is widely accepted for it's incredibly speed and reliability.

{
sfEls = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i < sfEls.childNodes.length; i++)
{
node = sfEls.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI")
{
node.onmouseover=function()
{
this.className+=" over";
this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.visibility="visible"
}
node.onmouseout=function()
{
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
this.getElementsByTagName("UL")[0].style.visibility="hidden"
}
}
}

What do you mean? What happens when you use that bit of code?

When I need to do php stuff inside html, I build the string and then echo it.
<?php
$strHtml = "<div id=\"header\"></div>";
$strHtml .= "<div id=\"container\">";
$strHtml .= "<ul id=\"nav\">";
$strHtml .= "<li ";
if (is_home())
{
$strHtml .= "id=\"current\"";
}
$strHtml .= ">"
$strHtml .= get_settings('home');
$strHtml .= " title=\"home\">home</a>";
$strHtml .= "</li>";
$strHtml .= "<li>";
$strHtml .= "<a href=\"?paged_id=110\">.NET Search</a>";
$strHtml .= "</li>";
$strHtml .= "</ul>";
$strHtml .= "</div>";
echo $strHtml;
?>
You also have an extra /ul and were missing a /div...

Just to be the little nit picker I am, echo'ing text takes 1/4 more time then leaving it outside of PHP tags. Usefull fact when printing over 1,000,000 records.

Hi,
I am working on an expandable left-side menu using Javascript. It has three level. While it works fine in IE, the submenus could not be opened in Firefox. Anyone knows why??
The function I used to open the topTreeMenu is like:
function openTopTree(n)
{
var item_cel=document.getElementById('topTreeTable').cells[2*n+1];
if(item_cel.innerHTML=="")
{
closeTopTree();
treeImg[n].src="../images/redarrow3.png";
switch(n)
{
case 0 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item00_all;break;}
case 1 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item01_all;break;}
case 2 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item02_all;break;}
case 3 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item03_all;break;}
case 4 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item04_all;break;}
case 5 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item05_all;break;}
case 6 : {item_cel.innerHTML=item06_all;break;}
}
}
else
closeTopTree();
}
But in Firefox Javascript console, the browser says "document.getElementById('topTreeTable').cells[2*n+1] has no properties". Anyone knows why and how to fix it??
Thanks a lot!
Iris

document.getElementbyId('topTreeTable') is returning a table element but cells is not a property of a table. You want rows and then you'd have to pull the cells out for each row. Use Firebug to see the properties of any DOM node on a page.

|

Thanks! I have realized the problem, but don't know how to fix it. What is Firebug?? Do you think if the DOM nodes go properly, Firefox should take it? Because I am even thinking of giving up Javascript, to use some other Menu approaches, such as CSS or ASP....Anyway, I will try Firebug first now..Thanks again!
Iris;)

OK, this as a follow-up to this thread[^], I would like to check if a file exists using javascript; what I need is actually ... code, not the idea how to do it, because I have no knowledge of javascript. This is only for a small macro in javascript, so I do not want to start and learn javascript for one example.
Thanks, guys !

Do you want to check for a client side or a server side file?
