Hello all! I'd like to make a program that run on a server and is capable of getting input from php or another instance of this program and generating appropriate html/php output. It should also be capable of communicating with sql(MySQL). But I'm completly new to this stuff. I want to write it in C/C++ so my question is how this program differs from standart console prog? Can I use dlls, threads? I'm bit confused of creating such thing. It is more likely that I'm completly confused.

You mean a web server. It might be easier to install Apache and see if you can develop a plugin for it to talk to the database.
