Well, here is what I need to do. I need for the browser to launch a program(somehow) which reads data from a database, collects the needed stuff and loads it into a template html script which would then be sent back to the browser. So, how can I do that? Right now, all of that is on my laptop which is running apache and I'm trying to launch from IE a cgi program which will build the html script to send back to the browser.
You have to tell Apache to use Euphoria to run your programs. Have you done that?
For instance, for BBCMF, I use esp as the file extension for files I want to serve my web pages. When you visit bbcmf.com, Apache knows to run index.esp to serve up the site pages. index.esp is a Euphoria program and reads data from a database and completes a template... just like what you want to do.
If you can get this program running, it will be a good start.
