title: Integrating a C executable file with html
body: <p>I have a C executable file which I want to integrate with a GUI. I will be keeping the executable file in C on the server side.</p>
  
  <p>I want to upload a file as an input and have a button on HTML, with the click of the button program should run on the server side. The executable file of C program works on the input file and generates a set of files which will be available to view as an output to the client.</p>
  
  <p>Majorly I want to know the ways I can integrate the C program with HTML.</p>
  
  <p>One idea, was to run a shell script from a PHP file at the click of a button, and the shell script would execute the C program file. But I want to avoid the use of shell scripts in the process.</p>
  
  <p>Could any of you suggest any other ways or guide me in the right direction?</p>
