How can I execute a script from a web browser?

[tmanning]

Can someone please tell me how to execute a script from the internet? I am trying to publish a database on the internet but when a user clicks submit on a web browser, I need a script to run. Is there some sort of Java script that I need? I am "cgi stupid" and would be grateful for any help that I can get. Thanks!
