I am sure that this question has been asked many times, but I am new to this
list and am searching for answers....
How to I get Postgres on RH linux 6.2, Apache, talking to web page forms. I
am sure there is software for this. Can anyone recommend anything & give
tips on their method of doing this.
Maybe there is a list FAQ where this is answered.
Thanks.

You certainly CAN use mod_php with apache (mod-php with the pgsql module
comes with RedHat 6.0).
If you don't have a religious attachment to apache, you can use
AOLserver, which has a killer tcl API, and directly supports
PostgreSQL. I am a little biased towards it, because that is what I
have used for over two years -- it is quick and relatively painless to
learn the AOLserver-enhanced tcl. Version 3.0b3 is available now in
both source and binary form -- check www.aolserver.com for details.
AOLserver is one of the most scalable webservers on the planet -- it is
right now fielding over 28,000 hits per _second_ at AOL's server farm
(more than one server, of course....). AOLserver is multithreaded, and
fast. And don't let the initials AOL make you retch -- AOL just bought
the company, Navisoft, that built the server originally -- it is not
AOL's creation. The original Navisoft people are still there at the
helm of this server.
If you prefer to stay with Apache, mod_php is , AFAIK, one of the best
ways of going about it -- it is very similar to how AOLserver does it.

I use perl, along with the CGI and Pg modules (actually, mod_perl works
even better -- much faster!).; Alternatively, you can use PHP3
(www.php3.org), an embedded HTML scripting language along the lines of
ASP. It has a lot of really neat things like database connectivity
(including Postgres), graphics manipulation, regular expressions, and so
on. It runs as an Apache module (you can run it as a CGI mdoule, but it's
sooo slow) and has a syntax based on Perl and C.

If it's just a few forms then use cgi-s (either C, python or perl).
If it is something more complex use Zope (http://www.zope.org/).

Thanks for all the tips, I will attempt to try it out shortly....you mention
cgi-s - what is this, I know cgi - how is cgi-s different?
