Objectives
The project objective was to design a web forum.
|
|
Results
The project implementation resulted in a Web forum consisting
of the user's and administrator's parts. The messages sent by users should be
displayed in the user's part of the forum only after they have been approved by
administrator, who, in his turn, had access to all messages.

Technical peculiarities
The forum targets Linux Web servers which do not have access to DBMS, and
the script languages may not be supported under them either. That is why
the forum was implemented using C++ and, besides generating HTML pages
which is a normal
|
|
feature of a CGI-application, it provided the functionality
of a special database. This functionality implements storing all messages of
the forum in a file and managing multiple simultaneous requests of data
read and write.
