ASP Forms - How to Store Sessions and Retrieve Them
(Page 5 of 5 )
You store variables in your session object. For instance, let's say we wanted to store the user's name in an object. Here is how we would do that:
<%
Session("name")="Michael Bolton!"
Session("music")="Horrible"
%>
Now that the variables are stored in the session object, we can use them for any page within our application. If we wanted to display a greeting on our home page, we could do so by inserting the following code on the page:
Greetings <%Response.Write(Session("name"))%>
Your music is <%Response.Write(Session("music"))%>
This would result in the following being displayed in the user's browser:
Greetings Michael Bolton!
Your music is Horrible
