It's hard to know exactly what you are looking for based on your questions. However, it's probable that you are looking for some sort Server Side Scripting. Server side scripting allows you to have dynamic web content. For example you could display to the user the contents of a file on you system, or display some records from a database, or perform some other task based on some data the users enters into an html form. Depending on your specific needs you might want to look into: PHP, PERL/CGI, or possibly Apaches builtin SSI(Server Side Includes): PHP - www.php.net PERL/CGI - http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/98/47/index2a.html SSI - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html Nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
