Sessions
To activate a session, simply use the
get_session command and store the result:
<:set someVar <:get_session>>
If the browser already has a
cookie that matches an active session, then the data for that session is
made available through the given variable (in this case someVar) as an
associative array. If the browser doesn't have a cookie, or that cookie
doesn't match an active session, a new session array is created and the
browser is sent a "Set-Cookie" field as part of the response.
There are some special members of the session array:
- $timeout
how long the session will live in spite of
inactivity on the browser's part. Measured in minutes.
- $id
the session ID, which is also the cookie value sent to
the browser for identification
- $lastuse
a big number
that is used internally to keep track of how long it has been since the
session was used
If you wish to remove session data from memory,
use:
Keep in mind that if you have
already used the <:get_session> command, the variable you assigned the
session data to is still good. However, if you overwrite that variable with
something else, then the session data will be removed from memory.
Otherwise, the session data won't be deleted until the connection ends.
<:set form <:read_form>>
<:ifempty
form["Logout"]> <:set sdata <:get_session>> <:require form["new name"] form["new
value"]> <:set sdata[form["new name"]] form["new value"]> <:/require>
<:else> <:end_session> <:/ifempty>
