* Rapid web based apps?

Looks like I am just full of questions today ;)
If you have to create a web based app with PostgreSQL as the backend, what
would you use? Right now I am creating a custom CGI program in C, but I
think I am just being stubborn and not looking at what new tools are available.
What's everyone else using?
Thanks,
Matthew

You could check out Zope (http://www.zope.org/)
I'm currently using only parts of it (DocumentTemplates, Bobo (now
ZPublisher))
but I'm moving to it when I have a little more time. It does have a
(little)
learning curve, especially if you need to extend it, but basic things
should
be quite trivial.
PHP (http://www.php.org/) seems also quite popular.

I'm using Perl and Java Servlets (one or the other... not both in the same
application)
you can also look at PHP3, ePerl and EmbPerl for embedding scripts with
database access in your web pages
(presuming you are using an Apache web server either on Unix or WinNT :)))))

Perl, Tcl, PHP3, Python to name a few. I use Python and like it
very much. Everything except PHP3 is in the interfaces directory.

PHP, it's easy, it works, it's fast.
I downloaded it and had a working app in a couple of hours.

I'll second Hannu's recommendation of Zope - I'm using it right now to
develop some data management pages for a PosrgreSQL database. The only
caveat is that the Zope->PostgreSQL connector (it's called ZPyGreSQLDA -
that's Zope Python postGreSQL Database Adaptor) is a contributed piece
of code with one show stopper bug - it errors on an empty query return!
I've posted a fix for that on the Zope mailing list, and sent it to the
author. If you decide to try it, fire me a note I can give you the patch
- oh, heck it's a one line additon patch: I'll attach it here.

Does it work well with BLOBs? No problems displaying pictures or movies?
