>>>As far as CGI, PHP and SSI goes, they are useless to me, because I don't know them. :-) I don't think I've heard of SSI. CGI has been around forever and PHP has been around quite a while also. I use ASP with VBSCRIPT on the server side and JAVASCRIPT on the client. Been playing for a while with .net but I'm waiting on production until its released.

CGI has been around for years and gets a bumb rap, yet it can do things (of a very limited nature) with data that most web sites can take care of without ODBC, state of the art hosting requirements, etc. CGI is not meant for corporate data but it can be useful for a small data file IMO. One thing developers say is that it is slow and it is. As for the other acronyms, I have not used them.

The requirements of the site will be very limited to begin with, but will probably increase, so CGI will probably get through the basics.

When you say small data file, how small? and what sort of format?.
