inetserver asp db:
few quik questions.....
i have sessions sesrt on my page to check for user ogins. if the session is true, then they are logged in. would it be better to use cookies? i havnt learned how to use those yet, but i can learn. (if thats best way, then anyone provide me a link to a good tutorial for one?) also, is it best to use an INCLUDE FILE to store all the variables that are used each page...........or is there a better way to store variables for each user on each page? thank you for any help anyone can provide.
im sry those were typos........
sesrt = set ogins = logins yes the variable is true in the session im just wanting users to login, and need to know the best way to save their login information. if sessions are used, then they are closed when the browser is closed.....i really dont want that....................i would like the user to be able to stay logged in while they are off the page, for a certain amount of time [quoted text, click to view] "Evertjan." <exjxw.hannivoort@interxnl.net> wrote in message news:Xns97E3C23EDB03eejj99@194.109.133.242... > James Jones wrote on 15 jun 2006 in microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db: > >> few quik questions..... >> >> >> i have sessions sesrt on my page to check for user ogins. if the >> session is true, then they are logged in. would it be better to use >> cookies? i havnt learned how to use those yet, but i can learn.

This is far to quick a question for me, please ask slowly, James. Tell us what is a sesrt? And what are ogins. How can the session be true? Do you mean a specific session variable having a value true? The best way is always a matter of opinion and taste, and what you are trying o accomplish, [which you did not tell] so no one can answer that for you. -- Evertjan. The Netherlands.

A session variable is a serverside variable that can be used all over the session and while in session: <% session("mySessionVariable") = true %> [quoted text, click to view] > im just wanting users to login, and need to know the best way to save > their login information.

im just want to find the best way to log a user in, and have the user stay
logged in for more than 20mins of inactivity. and the best way to store variables for the user........i like sessions, but im not sure if there is a easier way.

Do you mean, if a page is requested? Isn't that self evident? You could put this in each page: <br><% if session("accessed")<>"" then response.write "Last access in this session on: " & session("accessed") end if session("accessed") = now() %><br> -- Evertjan.

the variables are information about the user that are used anytime the user
loads a page..............i was told the sessions take a lot of server resources. so would i be best to use cookies?
