    <p>I'll be the first to admit that my programming experience and skill in web services is practically non-existent. I usually program things that run completely isolated or locally, with either C or assembly. I'm proficient enough to get a website going, with some basic authentication and directory read access on the system. That's about it. </p> <p>I'm trying to do a project that's well outside of my comfort zone and get some experience in controlling stuff remotely/via web. Using a Raspberry Pi running Debian, I'm running a program on it in C that takes in information such as video and UART data, does some crunching and triggers some outputs and writes events to a file/folder. This component is fairly straightforward to get running automatically. Getting a webserver up so a remote user can look at the files and pictures the driver program creates is also extremely easy. </p> <p>The problem for me comes in trying to make a GUI on a webpage that can be used to manually control these outputs. I'm going to need some scripting to handle the button presses on the web page, clearly, but is there a scripting language in particular that stands out for using kernel objects/system calls so I can actually talk to that process? I figure the best way is to use message queues, but I don't know if Python or PHP (or another scripting language) are capable of doing this, and if there are any that are better at this than others. What is the preferred way of doing this?</p> <p>I know it's possible since we've all seen those kitten-cams with the flash container where you can move the camera or trigger things. I just have no idea where to start. </p> <p>Thanks for any help</p>

    1. COLearning more about FastCGI or CGI could be useful. Also there are libraries in C providing HTTP service ...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
