ASP Session

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

The session stores the dedicated data for a visitor on the server side while he or she browses the site. The browser only carries a Session ID in the form of a cookie, while the session content remains on the server so it is more secure than storing all the data on the client. Session objects are useful for login status, shopping cart content, or user preferences.

Key points

The session is per visitor and is stored on the server.
Session ID is carried by the browser through a cookie as a session marker.
End the session by force.
Session_OnStart and Session_OnEnd handle the beginning and end of the session at Global.asa.
