Hi James,
Perfectly. After a _brief_ search, I could only find one web server for a
mobile platform, in this case WindowsCE. http://www.cam.com/vxweb.html. It
does have CGI support, though I'm not sure if it will help you.
The real question for this group is whether there is a PHP binary for
PocketPC, of if anyone has looked into porting the code. I found a few hits
from 2002 where it was apparently discussed, but nothing definitive.
