[Mapserver-users] Run a C program from an HTML page ?

[Hankley, Chip]

John - there are various ways that you can execute programs on the server
side using ASP, PHP, Perl, etc. However, my question would be "why re-invent
the wheel?"

You can already do what you want to do from within MapScript. MapScript
provides almost limitless control over the mapfile, etc.
