CGI-BIN & PHP 5.2

CGI-BIN: CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface. The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers. In other words, CGI is a method by which a web server can obtain data from (or send data to) databases, documents, and other programs, and present that data to viewers via the web. A CGI script is a program intended to be run on the web server. A CGI program can be written in any programming language, Perl is one of the most popular languages in which to program CGI scripts. On our servers you will get a cgi-bin directory that your scripts will be uploaded to, however your CGI scripts will work both inside and outside of your cgi-bin directory.
