CGI is translated as Common Gateway Interface. It's used to provide interactivity and turn static pages into dynamic ones. What does this mean? Let's take a guestbook, for example. Most of them are powered by CGI. They allow your visitors to leave comments on your site. This makes it interactive. But guestbooks are only one example. You also have bulletin boards, form processing, counters, and much more.
