Is it possible to create a global variable from within a Sub
so it is available to another function in the same web page?
I want to tap a database for information within a Sub procedure
but end the Sub after assigning the values to global variables.
Simply defining the variables as global (outside the Sub) and
setting them to empty strings does not do the trick. The variables
don't persist after the Sub procedure is complete.
I have a piece of vbscript that returns the user logged on to the machine. it is as follows:
<script language="vbscript">
Set WshNetwork = createObject("WScript.Network")
stringUser = (WshNetwork.userName) 'store username in variable stringUser
document.write("Username: " & stringUser) 'output value to web page
</script>
Now I need to use the value of stringUser on other pages of my asp application for database queries, form values etc. I have tried to call stringUser from inside <%..........%>, but it doesn't recognize the variable. Everytime I try to output the value from wthin asp code, it just appears as blank space. Any ideas?
I have a couple ASP applications running on my server (non .NET)
I would like to be able to get a sum total of how many active sessions I
have running.
I can do this within each app individually as I can just use an Application
variable and add/subtract as the sessions are created or deleted.
I am trying to come up with a sum total of all sessions between the two (or
more) apps running on this server.
That way I can tell if it is safe to reboot the box without affecting anyone
or not.
I'm trying to add a "user-verifacation" thingy to my site.
my problem is using/accessing session variables.
all the tutorials say that the global.asa should only have
the script tags (<script...> & </script>) and inside the script itself
only have the application/session onstart/end.
I've created this global.asa file and put it in my site-root folder:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" runat=server>
function Session_OnStart()
{ Session("LoggedIn") = "NO"
}
</script>
but i can't access the session variable Session("LoggedIn")... from any page.
i have a logon page, i create session variables for every person who logs on, but when their session times out, i want to redirect them (or have a popup window) that tells them that they have been logged off, but i have no success.' global.asa:
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Session_OnEnd
Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp"
End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work, i set the timeout to 1 minute, and i lose the session variables, but i cant seem to redirect them to the loggedout page!
I am making a testing project to get my hands on ASP classic. I have a question about Global Scope Variables e.g in PHP we make a file where we define some values which are global, e.g site URL, site title etc, and then we can include that in any page to get that value.
I read Global.asa works very good in fact we dont need to include that in every page to use stuff within this file. I read some examples but they are mostly about functions in this file. Can anybody guide me please how to define variables in Global.asa to use them sitewise?
I have absolutely no idea how global.asa works. I've read through quite a number of articles and they're all fine and dandy but implementing it on my (first) ASP application just doesn't work. It's amazing how ASP.NET automates everything for you.
Anyway, I need to store session variables and I have no idea how to. I have no global.asa file, but I can declare session variables fine. So does that mean that somewhere in the ASP process, a Session_OnStart() method's already running.
If I create a global.asa file, I put it in the same directory with other ASP files right?
A global.asa file should contain the basic four application/session methods... and shouldn't really contain much code, unless I want to start a variable with a default value. True or false (I say true). Code:
I am trying to run a Session_OnStart Script based on a Session variable that is created on a .asp page. The problem is that when I reference the Session in Global.asa It has no value but it has a value on the .asp page level. Is there a certain way that I have to reference a Session in Global.asa?
What I have is somthing like the following:
Sub Session_OnStart
If Session("NIS")<> "" Then
Run The Routine
End If
End Sub
Based on the above the routine does not run because Global.asa does not seem to get the value of Session("NIS").
I have initialized some session variables in Global.asa for our web
application. But these session variables are returning null values; it is was
working fine before; Recently we have rebuild our servers.
Please let me know if anyone of you have some idea?
I'm just dipping my toes into server-side scripting.
The Global.asa file seemed really nice, but am I understanding correctly that the application onstart event is fired ONLY when the server is started/re-started or when the FIRST user logs onto an ASP application?
If that's the case, then all the changes I keep making to my Global.asa file are pretty useless, right? (which seems to be the case -- i.e., my pages are not using any of the new information). Code:

I have the following problem.
I'm building a site with a db backbone.
In an "include file" I set a constant like:
Const partners = 22
and on some other page, I want to pass the word partners using the query string.
Meaning: I want to make such a link:
href="mypage.asp?module=partners"
When my page reads the querystring - I want it to be able to understand the value of the constant "partners".
when I read from the db using the following kind of Query, I get a "no value specified for one of more..." Code:
I'm hoping there is a way to do what I am trying. I have an asp page with 3 radio button choices. Depending on which radio button the user selects, I want to populate some drop down menus with different choices.
I have the case statement for the drop down boxes. Problem is, the html value from the radio button isn't actually used until you submit the form, so the case statement isn't finding any information to use to populate the menus.
Does that make sense?
So is there a way to make the radio button selection an immediately usable variable on the same page?
I'm having an issue using a VBScript (client side) and ASP together.
Basically I have this piece of testing code (sampled from my site) where the "Order Total" is obtained from the server. In my code I just declare an "Order Total" server side variable and set it myself. Code:
Is it possible to assign javascript variables values to ASP?
e.g. How would I store the following JS variable as an ASP variable in VBScript?
<script type="text/javascript">
var intJavaScriptNumber = 25;
</script>
The problem is I've got about 50 of these variables on a page, and they all need to be used in a simple equation which slows the browser down. If I could get them all into ASP then I could process this server side much more comfortably.
I have one application folder containing all ASP code files. I want host multiple sites pointing to same code. Can I do this ? If YES then how I can assign diffrent global.asa to each application...

View Replies View RelatedI'm not sure how to best describe my problem, so a simple example should help explain things:
I have two arrays, called set1_data and set2_data
if I create a variable like so:
firstPart = "set1"
and then assign like this:
copyOfArray = firstPart & "_data"
how do I make copyOfArray reference the set1_array, as opposed to just a string "set1_array" which is what it's doing?
I've had a good rummage round ye olde Internet but couldn't find anything there must be a keyword or function to achieve this?!?
I am trying to put a condition in my Global.asa file based on the server
name.the reason, I want to set a global string as a application variable based on
the server I am on.
I also need to set a coonection string based on the value of the server.
I need to use this connection string to retrieve values from an sp in
application on start that sets a load of global variables so I can't really
do this anywhere else.
I have a site which until this morning, was on a remote server. The structure was that the "site" was actually a folder on the server, as I am designer and use this arrangement to develop sites. Under the root directory, I had modified the global asa file to include session variables. Ok, so I download the site (folder) to my hard drive, and put it in the folder of "MY Documents" called MyWebs. I then opened VB Studio and created a new solution, which is pointing to the before mentioned directory in My Documents. When I pull the site up in IE, the session variables were not being called, and I realized I had not copied over the asa file. So I did so, placing a copy of it in the hard drive's c inetpub wwwroot directory, and also directly in the my docs mywebs directory,and the site's directory as well. It seems it is still not being called.Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
View Replies View RelatedIs the Global.asa file resolved before parsing the 'Include' (files) or
after parsing the 'Include' (files)?
I have IIS 5.0 installed on for a test server. the global.asa file runs perfectly.
when tryng the same application on win server 2003 IIS 6.0 the global.asa does not fire. i have set the application as a virtual site and given rights for iwam and iusr. What else could be the problem. Code:
How does IIS 6.0 treat the global.asa file? I had the following problem;
1. uploaded a new site to the win3k server
2. had incorrect db connection string in Session_OnStart in global.asa and website caused errors.
3. Changed the global.asa file to include the correct details. Saved the file. Still got the same errors.
I could not resolve this unless restarting the WWW Service on this server. In IIS 5.0 the global.asa file would reload after resaving it (as the timestamp is updated).
I even waited the next day before restarting the service because I though Session_OnStart expires after my session ends...but the error was still there
in the morning.
Hopefully someone will make sense of it for me. Here is the code (I inherited) in the global.asa
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("DB.ConnectionString")= ""
Application("MaxLoginAttempts") = 5
Set Application("Con") = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Session("Test") = Now()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart....
Is it possible to use ADO in global.asa?I simply want to creat a log of each visit to the site?
View Replies View RelatedI created a dll to track our users and I want to call it in the Global.asa. How do I do this? I've seen the <OBJECT> tag to create an object, but I'm not sure how to use it correctly.
View Replies View RelatedI dont have any idea about Global.asa. Is it for global variable declarations?
View Replies View Relatedi'm a little bit confused with using application_onstart.. as u can see in the following code... my DB connection and SQL statements is currently included in my application_onstart event.. but, unfortunately, i wasn't able to reference Application("sUser") in my asp when i tried to run my website Code:
View Replies View RelatedWe have over 100 asp pages that reference a table (distribution_components). We added a new column and primary key to that table, so now we have to modify the where clause to include that column (we have to make the new column = to a session variable in the page)
The table appears 531 times in our code. Is there some util or method that allows us to change it globally, other than going to each occurrance, and adding the new column to the where clause.
Basically session_onend will not fire in my global.asa files! I have just made a very simple test to prove its not my programming and it still doesnt fire.
Session_onstart works a treat but onend will not work even if you force the session to expire with abandon. I have tried on 2 of our servers now and it doesnt work on either.
my simple test is this:
Sub Session_OnEnd
application("test") = "hello"
End Sub
Now surely that should work. i obviously have a page that writes that test variable to the page but its always empty.
Set IE 6.0 ver. X to "Block all Cookies" in privacy settings and try
this code in three separate files.
<-- Global.asa -->
sub Session_OnStart
response.cookies("test") = "-1"
end sub
<-- Global.asa -->
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<%Response.Redirect("testcookie2.asp")%>
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
<%=request.cookies("test")%>
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
I get "-1" on testcookie2.asp
Anyone else get the same result?
Why am I getting the cookie in this test?
So when *does* Session_OnEnd fire in my Global.asa file? Does it fire when
they click a link to leave the site? Does it fire when the session times out?
I need to Ban IP's on my IIS server. I know the IP's I need to ban, but how to I write the global.asa file correctly.
