Well, the how can a CGI Script (I'm assuming you mean PERL here (I do hate it when peeps interchange PERL and CGI like they are the same thing) given newspro is in the message) is quite simple, you use the DBI module, which uncannily happens to have the MySQL interface, cant remember how to do it off top o me head, buts its something along the usage lines of the MySQL abstraction class that Vbull uses in terms of syntax, should be easy enough to read up on that then.
