Updating websites

[mcfcchris]

Hi there people,

I am building a website for a local school and they want a feature which will email the school secretary when a page has gone 1 month without being modified.

HELP. I don't have a clue how to do this, my programming skills are barely above zero. The school that are hosting the site say 'NO CGI!!!' but this may change soon.

Can anyone tell how I can add this feature to the site????:confused:

THanks in advance

Chris

Do you have php support on that server ??

cgi is a server side language. It is not the only one though. Also cgi is a very onlg language and some of the other ones might be a better choice to use (plus I heard cgi is more difficult to learn then the others but I cant verify that). Here is a list of server side languages see if your hsot supports them.
ASP ASP.NET PHP CGI JSP SHTML

CGI isn't a language, it is an interface for executing external programs/scripts with information servers. I can only assume that you meant Perl, which is the most common language to write CGI scripts in.
