return value from server to client

[wind0965]

I confront a problem to return a value from server side to client after execute the .cgi. And the cgi is written in C.

I don't know if it is possible to do like:
--in C file (save as "test.cgi"):
int main()
{
.....
return result;
}


--in JavaScript:
var test_cgi = 0;
...
test_cgi = "test.cgi" //OR: test_cgi = return test.cgi

It seems not to work.


Or if there are other possibilities?

Thank you in advance!

Any program, whether written in Perl, C, or anything else, sends the page content back by printing to STDOUT. e.g.,#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0; // indicates successful execution
}
