How do I generate web pages from a program or database?

Most web servers support one variation or another of a standard for adding your own programs to the web server. The standard is called CGI (Common Gateway Interface).

Marc Hedlund has written a FAQ on CGI programming (URL is: http://www.halcyon.com/hedlund/cgi-faq/ ) which makes a good introduction to the subject. The standard itself can be found at NCSA (URL is: http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ ).
