I'm looking at doing some work (for fun) in a compiled language to run some simple tests and benchmarks against php.

Basically I'd like to see what other people use for C++ CGI programming. (Including backend database, like mysql++ or something else)

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but there is a C++ web framework called wt (pronounced "witty"). It's been kept pretty much up to date and if you want robust C++ server-side code, this is probably what you're looking for.

You can check it out and read more at the wt homepage.

P.S. You may have some trouble installing wt if you don't have experience with *nix or C++ libraries. There are walkthroughs but since frameworks like these are the road less traveled, expect to hit a few bumps.
