If your website is hosted on a Linux server, you can use or write scripts in PHP, Perl or Python.

PHP scripts should end in .php and can reside anywhere in your www directory tree. We are currently running PHP as a static Apache module. You can find out the default PHP settings and compiled modules by asking Technical Support on support@ilisys.com.au.

Perl scripts in the cgi-bin directory should have the extension .pl and in the www directory tree should have the extension .cgi. The first line of the script should be:

#!/usr/bin/perl

Python scripts should have the extension .py and for Python 1.5, should start with the line:

#!/usr/bin/python

For Python 2.x, the script should start with

#!/usr/local/bin/python

You can also use Server Side Include files, which have the .shtml extension.
