Agree with Aggieuk it should not ne neccesary to buy even more software to figure out the mechanics of cgi scripts, php and webform, and other stuff. In addition, especially with FrontPage there is a steep learning curve involved (read time).
Plus, when I tried using FP some yrs ago it did a lot of 'funny' things including creating zillions of duplicate files for some odd reason, and also from what I recall somehow interfered with the htm file rankings in the SE's, though I don't remember how or why. Also read that said by others too.
Another negative about FP is that say you have perhaps 200 files in your website, every time you make a change (even very minor - like a typo correction) it required that all 200 files be re-written to the disk and then re-copied using ftp to the server, even though all I did was fix a spelling error. That is the main reason I stopped using FrontPage long ago.
I now know webforms, cgi and php is actually relatively simple to install and run, and complete usage instructions (even for a newbie) could be put on a page or 2 and not need a book or buying more software to figure it out. I have also been thru literal hell involving very simple php and cgi issues. It always seemed like no one ever understood the questions or issues, though they were very simple and basic. Anyone here know an easy tutorial on this?
