Can someone point me in the right direction for creating entire web apps (like control panels) in C and interfacing them with HTML?

All I'm looking for is a method of doing this.. I already know both languages, but I want to setup a C program on the server to interface with web browsers.

Thanks!

You can use C just like you would Perl, via CGI. You can also build ISAPI modules and Apache modules (see www.apache.org for details). The source for mod_gzip is a pretty good reference point.

Alternatively, if you were interested in C++ you can do a lot of stuff using XML and SOAP with the WASP engine (www.systinet.com).

I hope this helps at least somewhat.

Perfect! I'll check into that... I don't know C++; and don't anticipating learning it until I must...

Thanks Again!
