hello 
  i am writing a cgi program from a c file.  does anyone know how to get
what is sent from a form in html into the c file?  
ex:
  .
  .
  .
  <form action="foo.cgi>
  <input type=text name="var">
  <input type=submit>
  .
  .
  .

Now how do i get the textfield "var" so i can use it in my c (CGI) file?

thanks
