CGI Scripts:
Common Gateway Interface

• Can generate new html pages and images on demand

• Run on the server, rather than the client

• Must have file type .cgi

• Must be in a directory with .htaccess that contains Options ExecCGI as its first line

• The output of the script becomes the data sent to the browser

• The first line must be content-type: class/type followed by a blank line
