COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE (CGI)
 
CGI is a standard method for a web server to pass a user's request to a program that processes the data and sends the results back to the user, hence "dynamic" content. 
 
CGI scripts are executable scripts normally written in the Perl language, but can also be written with C or C++.   CGI scripts can handle forms, guestbooks, message boards, shopping carts, counters, statistics, search engines, etc. and are often used by webmasters to add content to their web sites.
