Many new web servers will preprocess a web page before relaying it onto the clients browser. By embedding scripts into these pages, the server can change the way the page is created before it is even sent to the user. This allows a wealth of systems to be created, from simple database queries to forums and e-commerce applications. There are several types of server scripting environments, the most popular being ASP/ASP.NET on Windows, Perl and PHP on *nix systems and JSP on Sun servers.
