SetSessionVar

Syntax

SetSessionVar varname$, value

Description

Stores a variable and its value in the current session container. During an active web session, this variable can be retrieved and updated. When a web session is terminated, all variables are destroyed. The variable names are case-insensitive.

Note: when working with custom login and logout scripts, you need to manually clear session variables, using SetSessionVar, appointing a null value to all relative variables.

Parameter	Description
varname$	The name of the variable in the session container to be created or updated.
value	The value assigned to varname$.

There are some special session variables that are reserved and pre-defined. These are listed below:

Variable name	Description
IP	Returns the remote-address (direct or via proxy) of the connected user
StartTime	The date and time the session was started.
LastActivity	The data and time the session was active.
Connection	The name of the current database-server connection used. NOTE: Changing this session variable will force the web-server to use that connection for this session only.
ConnectString	The native connectionstring that is used to connect with an MS-SQL database server.
Lang	Language. Default language setting is "NL". This session variable is used voor automatic translations, using TTW.
