here it is… ( i really need to read the geshi docs so i can format this properly!)


#include
int main(){
std::cout <<"Content-Type: text/html<html>\n\n ";
std::cout << "text.";
std::cout << "</html>";
return 0;
}

Anyway, it compiled pretty easily as a cgi script; getting it to run in apache took me a few minutes, as a matter of fact, i am afraid i hosed some stuff on this test system trying to get it working. I finally added

Options +ExecCGI

to the apache2 config file — in ubuntu, i actually modified the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file, under the Directory /var/www tag.

This allowed me to run the cgi.. at least.. i tried 84 things, so I -think- that’s what finally worked ;)

tomorrow i’d like to try some post/get forms with c++, i write my forms with so much php that i’m not sure how i’ll do it with c.

btw – thanks to http://www.metalshell.com/view/source/127/ for the idea.

I moved on to write a php include that I could add to the header of each file. I initially had trouble because I’m currently hosting 5 sites, and using the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] element, many of the inserts would appear as “index.php” without telling me which domain they were associated with. I was foolish enough to try some superceding directories, like

“/../” . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

which would return (predictably) “/../index.php”. So I eventually got the bright idea that there MUST be an array element in PHP to address this – and I lucked out! I used

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

and got neat results like “www.sl7pm.com/index.php” which is EXACTLY what I wanted to see! now I can tell the difference between hits to www.sl7pm.com/index.php and www.huanix.com/index.php, which previously looked the same.

I will continue to work on the Server Side Include issue when I get more steam. I hate planting the same repetitive include in every file, especially when I know that I will forget where I placed in in highly-included software like phpBB and WordPress.

I have been thinking about taking a programming class through my local university.. I know a little, but I feel like a formal class would help me build a firm foundation. I’m looking at taking Programming I. Any feedback would be appreciated. I am currently MOST proficient with PHP, which isn’t much, but I am picking up a lot of fundamentals like arrays, switch & case, and loops that I know are ubiquitous in programming.
