Server-side applications for form processing

Would C++ be a good choice for programming server-side applications for
form processing? Or is there a better choice out there?
Thanks.

If you already know C++, there is nothing better. You know, if shoe
fits, wear it. If you don't yet know C++, don't bother. Use PHP, or
Python, or Perl, or other similar language (Ruby, Java, Visual Basic),
they are all simple enough (except maybe for Perl) and well suited for
Web interaction. Using C++ might be seen as shooting sparrows with
a cannon.

Also, ask in 'comp.infosyste ms.www.authorin g.cgi', that's where they
talk "form processing".

If I missed entirely what you were asking about, I am sorry, post
again and be more verbose/specific that time.

If you would like to invest some time, Java Server Pages (JSPs) and
Servlets are a robust system used everywhere.(Of cousre you need to
know Java for it....which has most of its syntax similar to c++.....but
not quite the same thing)

JSPs are a good idea for complicated form interfaces.

A simple tutorial...

Personally, I use C++ for this and have no problems doing so.

Russell,

Do you have any generic classes to support this that you'd be willing
to share? I have a site that I've been meaning to convert from
hand-coded html to CGI/C++ for awhile now.

I have my own CGI library that I do intend on releasing, however it
isn't quite ready yet. When it is I'll inform you.
