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 am trying to build a web based database using Access and ASP. I can retreive data form the database in a web page. I can send data from one page to another. However, I am stuck trying to figure out how to make the data variable. I would like the second page to display only data the user selected from a drop down list in the previous web page. I tried using the WHERE function and replace the hard coded information with a variable, but it isn't accepting the code. Could someone please help with this? I have research mulitple sites and can't find this particular piece of code or in tutorials. I must be missing something because seems like it would be basic stuff.
I'm trying to reference a username variable that is saved after the user logs in. I can reference it using $(Username) in standard html parts of the page but how do i use it in the script sections enclosed with <% %>
on the page.asp it searches the database for the specific record with id=3. now i cant use : variable = Request.Form("id"), because the information does not come from a form, and request.querystring doesn't want to work either.
I have a webpage with a list of items with checkboxes and a submit button. On the click of the submit button, I call a vbscript that loops through the items and put the values of the checked items in an array or string, and then jump to a new page.
Now I either want to send this variable to the new page, or I want to save the values to a mySQL database table, so I can use the values on the new page.
It seems I can't use session variables (session.contents) for this because that's server-side only.
Is there any way to get input boxes by thier id rather than thier name? (Request.Form("elementname")) I don't want to have to give every box its own id and name when they are just going to be the same.
I know that it's possible to pass more than one url variable using '&' querying 2 columns in the database.However,I want to pass both the words 'piano' and 'keyboard' to the same column [instruments] in a database).
Here is the code for just 'piano' and this works fine.
Search_quick.asp?<%="search="&"piano"%>
This is processed by a request.querystring("search")
I'm building an application that allows visitors to our site to view GPS survey data. The data is collected several times a day and the files written to a different directory each day. Thus, for July, there are 31 folders.
There is a calendar on the site that people can click on the date they want to get the data for. Then, a window will open and the contents of that days directory will be displayed in the window.
Our app is at http://test.c-b.com/CORS/ - the data is supposed to be accessed from the calendar but now all I can do is view the root files. I just can't figure out how to target another directory with the FSO using a variable passed from a querystring.
How do I write variables in the URL like in PHP? Then, How do I pick up variables that are in the URL!
E.g. in PHP = main.php?name=David
Because i've just started in ASP from PHP and I was wondering how you goto a URL with variuables in...! And how ASP gets them from the address URL as it seems not to automatically pick them up.
I have a number of form fields that I wish to temporarily record into variables and pass to a small number of subsequent pages.
Is the best way to save each one to a session variable when I submit the form and then to clear the variables when I no longer need them?
Also, if this is the best method, what is the code for saving a form field to a session variable when the form has not yet been submitted. For example, when I submit Form1, I want the contents of Field1 to be entered into SessionVariable1 and then the form to be submitted as normal.
I am requesting a variable for the users' network username:
<%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>
This returns the following:
NETWORKJ.Bloggs
Instead I would like it to return J.Bloggs on it's own with out the "NETWORK" bit so basically I am saying how do I cut out the first 8 characters of a variable.
I am using Session variables in my ASP application. I have tested the application on a Win2k professional and it works fine. When the same web app is installed on a win2k advanced server from the client browser when the app is accessed the session variable returns null inspite of a value being already set. I have checked the IIS enable session state settings. When i use the server machine as client and access the app as localhost then the session variable has correct value.
How can this be solved? What other settings if any, need to be changed to get it work.
Do session variables carry over if you've left your site and come back?
My shopping cart uses PayPal/IPN to transact and then enter details of the transaction into my database. All of the data entry takes place after IPN has returned all of the data to my site.
A couple of the fields I need to populate are held in session variables throughout the application. When the customer clicks on the checkout button, and is sent over to PayPal's server to complete the transaction, will the session variables still be available to me upon returning to my site?
I am trying to pass a variable from another page to a sql statment. The variable specifies the one of the columns that I want the sql query to return. I also want to display field contents of the column later in my page. I can't seem to get this to work. Can someone give me a hand? Here is my code:
My goal is this - to use cookies to remember items viewed by a specific user.
There is no registration process so need to identify each visitor & was thinking about using the session ID of the first visit as the identifier, is this okay?
So now I've identified a user I wish to attach to the cookie the imageID of every item that person has viewed i.e.
Is there a way to close a single session variable, once it's been created? I have an application that requires a several session variables to be created once a person enteres a certian section of my site. When they leave the variables are set to nothing, as they are no longer needed. I'd like to just close them out, but I will still need to keep the session open, so Session.Abandon will not work in this case.
I'm trying to post variables using http to a site with a different domain and need my page to wait until it gets a returned value back and then insert that value returned into a database. Once I'm able to get the variable back i know how to get it into a database, just don't know how to have the page wait for the value returned.
