CGI or PHP?

PoorDoggie · Feb 15, 2005

Hi. I know a lot of PHP, but I was thinking about learning CGI as well. Would this be a good step or not? I know php is v. powerful, but is CGI any better?

Also could someone point me in the direction of a good starting tutorial? Like the basics of CGI or something?

Thanks
Tom

Id think that PHP is suitable for everything under the sun. except of course HTML.
CGI might be useful depending on what you are going to make.

what do you mean, apart from HTML?

you can do anything with php you can do with cgi. (pretty much, not entirely everything but all common and uncommon projects). CGI isnt worth learning, while php you just need to make a few edits in a config file while CGI you have to have it chmoded correctly or your out of luck. If you know php dont bother with CGI. If your going to learn anything learn C/C++.

Best of luck
