Sessions? 1

[pfrancis]

Hey. I'm new to ASP, but I have been working with PHP for a little while. In PHP there is a Session function. Does ASP have the same function or a similar one? Thanks for any help you can give me.

There is a session object in ASP...

You can have session variables
session("userName") = "Mike"


You can kill a session
session.abandon

You can make things happen when sessions start and end in the global.asa file

sub session_onStart
end sub

sub session_OnEnd
end sub

Thanks for a quick response. It really helps. Do you have any links with good references for sessions. I did a google search and I'm not really finding examples of using sessions. Thanks again.
