| I want to build a website that a user can enter parameters, this will
then trigger my APL code to take those parameters and execute. I would
then like to display the results to the user on the webpage. I have a
basic understanding of websites, I am able to write to a text file from
the website using Perl or Java, etc, but I am not sure how to trigger
the application to run, or how to get the parameters from the text file
to the APL app. Also I need to know how to return the calculated data
to be displayed on the page. Can anybody please guide me in the right
direction to accomplishing this?
I'm using APL+Win 2.0 and could upgrade cheaply to 3.5 if necessary as
this is a non-commercial application.
Thanks,
Lance

| Lance,
There are quite a lot of different ways of doing this, depending on
whether you want APL to handle the whole web protocol, or just serve up
specific information with apache or some other web server doing the
rest.
There's a document called 'Interfacing the apache Web Server to APLX'
on our web site (http://www.microapl.co.uk/apl/aplx_docs.html) which
discusses one approach. Although it's written for our APLX users, the
technique should be applicable to any APL interpreter.
