If I decide to do my server side work using C and CGI is there a set
of C libraries comparable to PHP? I'm going to need to do e-commerce
among other things, and am concerned that there may not be much
available for C.

This is a question for a C newsgroup.

Most PHP libraries are shims to C libraries anyway, so yes, basically.

You can certainly code up C acess to mysql for example.

I think the only other stuff I have used that's a bit out of the
ordinary is graphic manipulative stuff, and that's all available in C too.

Theres a few HTML specific string handling things that you might need to
replicate, but not a huge job really.

As Matt said, this is a question for a C language newsgroup.

But I have no idea why you would want to use a language not made for web
services over one which was specifically created for it. Do you use a
hammer to pound in a screw, also?

If you are willing to stick with ONE webserver, you could use the apache
module API. Of course, this is kind of low level, but combining it with
some libraries like e.g. PCRE (depending on what you actually need), it
could be useful.

If you are interested in webservices, there's Axis for C, see here:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/

But, generally speaking, most of the time there's no real reason to use
a low level language like C for these things. There's already a wide
variety of languages/platforms made especially for web- and enterprise
applications, including PHP, but if you are looking for alternatives,
maybe consider C# with ASP.NET or Java/JSP or even Ruby, perl (mod_perl
for apache), python, ...

Felix

Thanks very much for your reply. Yes, MySQL is easy in C, the problem
is the e-commerce routines. I've tried to find them on the Web without
success. Any ideas?

As there is (to my knowledge) no PHP module called "e-commerce", maybe
you should name what exactly you mean by that term.

The converse is also true

But that wasn't the question.

He didnt ask 'how many C libraries are replicated in PHP?' did he?

No, just keep on staring at Jennifer Lopez' pikkies

And TNP can't read, either. He doesn't even understand the question!

How would any PHP newgroup know what C libraries are available?

And now that we've gone completely OT and are attacking grammar, I'm
going to ignore this "lurjker." Idiot.

It's not my fault if every time you open your mouth you put your foot a
little further in it.

No one is attacking grammar at all.

You merely ignore it.
