ASP: The Beginning - Naming Conventions
(Page 4 of 4 )
When you name a variable, you must follow certain rules, or conventions. Here they are in a nifty little list:
The name must start with a character from the alphabet (a through z or A through Z).
You cannot use a period in the variable name.
No two variables can have the same name within the same scope. Really, it is best to avoid naming two variables the same.
A Brief Example of Sessions in ASP
While we do not have time to cover Sessions in-depth in this article, I would like to go over how one looks briefly (we will discuss Sessions and Cookies in the next tutorial). Here is a simple code to read what time the user visited the website and greet them:
<html>
<body>
<%
Session(“TheTime”) = Time()
response.write(“Greetings nerdlings! Welcome to my humble abode. The time is currently: “ & Session(“TheTime”))
%>
This will display:
Greetings nerdlings! Welcome to my humble abode. The time is currently: 12:10:19 PM.
Well that is all the time we have for this exciting episode. In the next article we will be discussing cookies (yummy) and sessions, and how to work with them. So be sure to drop on by for a spell. Maybe you can even take a swim in our concrete pond.
Till then...
