ASP (ACTIVE SERVER PAGE)

ABOUT ACTIVE SERVER PAGE
Microsoft active server pages (asp) is a server-side scripting
environment that you can use to create and run dynamic, interactive
web server applications. With asp, you can combine with html page,
script commands, and activex components to create interactive web
pages or powerful web based applications, asp applications are easy to
develop and modify
WHAT IS NEW IN ASP
active server pages has been enhanced with features of mixing code
languages. that make it easier to use while developing applications.
ADDING SCRIPT COMMANDS
script is a series of commands or instructions. unlike html tags, which
simply format text or read in a graphic, video, or sound file, a script
command instructs the web server to performs an action. !cript
commands can store a user"s name in a variable, display the user"s name
in a page returned to the browser, or store the user"s name in a database.
!cript commands are differentiated from text by delimiters. delimiter
is a character or se#uence of characters that marks the beginning or end
of a unit. in the case of html, these delimiters are the less ($) and greater
(%) symbol, which enclose html tags.
sp uses the delimiters $& and &% to enclose script commands. you
can include within the delimiters any command that is valid for the
scripting language you are using. the following example shows a simple
html page that contains a script command.

!ession is a different type of variable it stores the datas it self and also
pass the values to different pages.
,o give a variable session scop, store it in the session obIect by
assigning a value to a named entry in the obIect. 0or example, the
following commands store two new variables in the session obIect.
$&
session(2first name7)12Ieff7
session (2last name7)12smith7

to retrieve information from the session obIect,access the named entry
by using the output directive ($1) or response.write. the following
example uses the output directive to display the current value of session

SESSIONID PROPERTY
,he sessionid property is a read-only property that returns the session
identification number for each user.each session has a uni#ue
identifier,generated by the application when the session is created.the
session identification number is actually a cookie that is stored on the
user"s machine .it will expire only when the session timeout. 3ne rather
large problem with the session obIect is that it simply won"t work if the
user has cookies turned off.the session won"t get started when the user
browses the site and they won"t get access to the session obIect
,o retrieve the current user"s session:d,useC

GLOBAL-ASA
!ince we can now store obIects and variables in an application Nlevel
scope,we need to have a file to store these declarations in. this file is
global.asa. each application can have only one global.asa, and it"s places
in the virtual directory"s root.in global.asa,you can include event handler
scripts and declare obIects that will have session or application
scope.you can also store application-level variables and obIects used by
the application. ,he file has no display component,as it is not displayed
to users.
:f you are using vbscript, global.asa can contain only four event
handling subroutinesC
'. applicationEonstart(runs the first time a user runs any page in your
application).
(. applicationEonend(run once when the web server shutdowns).
*. sessionEonstart(runs once when first page of your application is
runs for the first time).
B. sessionEonend(runs when session obIect timeout or #uits your
application).
