Welcome to the forums! While I'm not a script expert by any means, it looks to me like something might be set up incorrectly on the Infolanka site.<!--content-->

One (outdated) place that can give you a good start is Webmonkey (h_tp://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/perl_cgi/). Not sure exactly what languages can be used for CGI, but I know Perl seems to be the most common.<br /><br />As I understand, CGI scripts are basically for data processing. They take data that you or your website visitor inputs, process it and present it in another way.<!--content-->
Many basic web pages are built using HTML language. Many are written with PHP language.<br />Some people build web pages with HTML and put code snippets of PHP into the page for special functions (get date/time from server, and lots of other things)<br /><br />Perl scripts (run from the cgi-bin) are used for counters, forms, guestbooks and much more. Take a look at this menu at hotscripts for ideas of what can be done using cgi scripts. <!--coloro:#3333FF--><span style="color:#3333FF"><!--/coloro-->http://hotscripts.com/CGI_and_Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->. Just about anything that can be done with CGI/Perl is available in PHP.<br /><br />To implement PHP or CGI scripts for extra features, you must <b>install them </b> on your website and they require some basic or moderate coding to get them to work. Not just a simple copy and paste and working!<!--content-->
