hi, I am using LPC 2468 as a http server.I have checked http demo program and am able to post and get data from controller. I have to read the data from the microcontroller and display it on the browser as a text or pdf file. I have to read the attendance of employees,make table for present days and absent days and time of arrival etc and display it on browser. is ther any solution to make a text file and display it on browser or will i have to make a cgi file and read the data and accordingly make the table and display it on browser. But how can it be made as text or pdf file to save it on PC.

Wow, that's an unusual application for a microcontroller! Anyway, I think much of this can be done in the browser using Javascript.
Not so usual if it is an entrance system with access card or similar for entering leaving. Just because many systems have been using a PC for the database, a embedded server would save lots of power.
Are you just being sarcastic there...?
In case not, it's not really that unusual; eg, here's one:

Although the microcontroller part would normally just do the basic data collection - the analysis and presentation, as already noted, would normally be done by a PC or suchlike.
