I've got a Fortran 95 program (which basically does few calculations) and I'd like to use it online. So that, the users will input data into a HTML form, the program will run, and it will display the results.

Would it be possible to do it in the following way?
To run a little program (e.g. PHP) once the user submits the form, then that program would take the input values from the form and write them into a text file.
Then it runs the Fortran program, which reads the input values from the text file and does all the calculations - outputting the results to another text file (and then back to the website).

If that's possible, how do I put all these steps into one thing, so that they'll be executed one after another?


Thank you very much for your help!

That looks very much like a re-post of How to run Fortran program on the website? Please help, but anyway:

Theoretically, there are many of ways of gluing a module or an an app and a website together, but the choice of architecture largely depends on infrastructure, foremost

- which web-server,
- running on which platform,
- providing which infrastructure

is taken into consideration?

And last not least which rights do you have on the box/the OS/the web-server/your site?
