Sorry, I have misunderstood your question. If you only want to display
the result of a calculation that you have written in some octave script,
this is easily accomplished with a web interface: just write a CGI
script that calls your program.

You could use liboctave for writing your program in C++, but it's probably
easier to write some *.m script and call octave on this script in your
CGI-script. For generating fancy graphics, you can postprocess your data
with gnuplot or alike.

Hope this helps,
