Session in ASP

[whizzz]

hi,
I am entry level programmer in ASP where I dont have much knowledge in ASP session handling.One of my project requires to put some session level checks on the result displaying pages to ensure results are displayed only if the parent page is hit.Clearly, the people should not be allowed to go the result page by entering the result page URL directly on IE,without navigating from the parent page.

Waiting to hear u...
Thanks in advance

Hi

You want to do something like this:

ParentPage |

<% Session("Valid") = 1 %>

Results Page

<% 
if Session("Valid") <> 1 then
Response.redirect("parentpage.asp")
else
end if
%>

I think thats what your looking for.

Thanks

If your result page is expecting submissions from a form, you could also try placing this at the top of your results page:

<%
if request.servervariables("REQUEST_METHOD")<>"POST" then _
response.end
%>

This way, if a user tries to enter your results page trying to bypass the form, it won't work. You can also response.redirect to another page instead of response.end
