cgi is how the web moved from static html webpages to interactive webpagesway back in the early days of internet. cgi worked best with perl but in early days it was used with a lot of C code on the server side. It is not a language but a data exchanging interface. PHP on the other hand is a server side language which in recent times has grown into an almost general purpose language but is still used mostly for server side implementation along with a web server.
cgi is almost dead now as it was really a hack at that time to provide interactivity. One is better off with full blown service side languages like php, python, ruby, java etc etc. Cheers Pankaj On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 6:29 PM, Vikas Sharma <[email protected]>wrote: > can any body tell me the benefits of php over cgi? > > i need to compare them? > > -- > vikas sharma > > > > -- Cheers Pankaj --------------------------------------------- http://13degree.wordpress.com Do your dreams! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Flex India Community" group.
