I was wondering if it is possible to embed c++ into html as a form of serverside scripting. Please Help!
 | View Full Version : how do you embed c++ in html?! rapta 01-23-2005, 04:29 AM not possible Burhan 01-23-2005, 04:45 AM Possible using CGI. cow_helmet 01-23-2005, 07:20 AM You can't "embed" C++ into HTML in the same way that you may be used to with your favorite scripting language. You can have compiled C++ applications eat your input and spit out your output, but you can't have <html> <head> <title>LOL WELCOME TO MY AWESOME HOME PAGE</title> </head> <body> <?c++ cout << c++info() << endl; ?> </body> </html> If you could, then that would be pretty neat. plumsauce 01-24-2005, 09:25 PM Actually, you can. Checkout ch from softintegration.com (http://softintegration.com) :stickout: ch is a c++ interpreter there is a free version and many modules posted for web services your alternative is to use javascript as your server side scripting language which is possible in IIS. I have no connection to the company, I just like c and downloaded as much as I could just yesterday. cheers nnormal 01-25-2005, 11:24 AM personally I wouldnt do the cgi thing. C++ just isnt that great of a serverside language by itself. What I have done when we need the allout brute force power of C++ in a server script is to write a custom addition to the language we have in place. In our case we were using coldfusion and I implemented it as a custom tag. I am sure there is a similair approach with PHP although I havent used it. webdesign jr 01-25-2005, 12:37 PM I did this several times in two ways: - classical CGI script - using PHP and control the C++ code using one of the program execution functions (was it exec ??, do not remember) and yes, nnormal is right, you can create a extension module for php -------------------------------- http://www.scisoft.cz/webdesign-cz/webdesign.php webdesign jr John0000 01-25-2005, 04:50 PM thanks guys |
