Hi Experts,

This may sound stupidity.....anyhow....let me ask the doubt, Even though shell is just a scripting language, can anyone tell me, whether web pages can be created with embedding some concepts.

In any other scripting language, whether web pages can be created. If so, suggest me in which scripting it is possible and also tell me some guidelines to start with it....


Thanks,
Newbie.........

Dynamic web pages can be created with almost any (scripting) language, as long as the web server allows you to execute the files. Most prevalent at the moment is PHP, but there's also Perl, Python, Ruby, Bash, Smalltalk, LISP, ...

If you want an example of how to write something like this take a look at a blog engine written in bash.

There's more to it that just writing a script, you'll also have to make sure that the web server allows execution of scripts.

But the most simple example that I can come up with:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo

echo "
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>The time is now $( date )</p>
  </body>
</html>
"

Same thing in Perl (for example)
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

$time = localtime;
print <<"EOF";
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>The time is now $time</p>
  </body>
</html>
EOF

I don't mean to nitpick, but since the response is meant to be instructional, I thought I'd mention it.

Those line endings are incorrect. HTTP headers should be terminated by \r\n. The client will often be liberal and accept \n (especially when it's a full-blown browser), but it's not required to.
