Using CGI between pages

[kiteofdoom]

I am new to advanced scripting besides Javascript. Here is what i want to do. I want to be able to have say a button be clicked on one page and have a number be changed on another. OR maybe if a page is visited it effects another change. From looking around i thought that CGI could do this. Before i put time into learning a new language i was curious if CGI could do this, or if u knew another one that could do it better. thankyou

Any server side language should be able to do this (PHP, CGI/Perl, ASP, etc.) and you could even do it with javascript. Basically what you will be using is the query string to send a value to the next page, and depending on that value, affect your change...

guess i just have to look harder. which is the best/easiest to learn do u think.

I personally use PHP, so that would be my recomendation...

thank you, php looks easier than cgi
