Ok as I assume that you know C and C++ maybe this could help you:

Answer 2

I can't tell you how to do it in C++, but the basics of CGI programming are the same regardless of what language you use.

CGI defines three standard file handles, STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR. The usual flow is that an HTML form calls your program using the "post" method. You can read the length of the posted data from the CONTENT_LENGTH environment variable, and read the data itself from STDIN. Alternatively, data sent using "put" can be read from the QUERY_STRING variable. After processing, you print out HTML content to STDOUT, and the server delivers it to the user's browser.

CGI uses a number of environment variables to make information available to your program; see a list at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html.

How you install the program depends on the web server; often it has to go into a designated directory.

Answer 3

I don't think it's possible and if it is, you would need a special parser for the CGI to make it work.

Most Common Gateway Interface scripts use: Perl, Python, Ruby or another obscure and rarely used language.

It may be possible to use C++ but I don't think there are many people that would these days.

Your best bet would be to search google.
