From what I undersand CGI & ASP aren't programming and/or scripting languages.

Then what are they... "standards" .... if so ... standards of what.

What languages can you use to program CGI and what languages can you use to program ASP??? Are CGI & ASP different versions of the same thing ???

Is PHP a language or standard like CGI & ASP???

How can a page on the Internet end w/ blabla.php or blabla.cgi or blabal.asp but never w/ balbal.c or blabla.pl
