I've never tiried this before , mainly because i'm still learning C++, I was formerly learning C but I thought I would be better off learning C++ and Perl. So can I use my C++ scripts on tch? <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /><!--content-->
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but C++ is not a web development programming language. On the other hand, Perl <i>can</i> be used to develop scripts and programs for use on web pages.<br /><br />However, on the positive side, while you may not be able to apply your C++ skills directly to web development, you will find that once you know one programming language, it is very easy to pick up other languages.<!--content-->
You might also look into php for a server side scripting language this very powerful.<!--content-->
Thanks! And I also know PHP already.<!--content-->
Kasey, C and C++ can be used as web development languages <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br />Actually, any language can be used for web development, as long as there's a way to make it interact with the web server. I don't know if TCH's servers are setup to allow C/C++ to run as CGI but it's just a matter of trying it out.<br /><br />I don't know how to write a program to interact with the webserver though. I've used C/C++ for quite a few years but never for web development (I prefer PHP, without any doubt), so I don't know if you need to use some special functions or something like that. But this page seems to explain it well enough:<br /><a href="http://hjs.geol.uib.no/cplusplus/" target="_blank">http://hjs.geol.uib.no/cplusplus/</a><br /><br />Other than that, this <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=using+c%2B%2B+cgi" target="_blank">Google search about "C++ CGI"</a> has some more URLs.<br /><br />Hope this helps <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
