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
