Global.asa

[Morgoth]

Personal question to reduce all the tention in this forum:

What info do you put in your Global.asa?

I have a counter for users that are on my website :)

[EasilyBefuddled]

Dare I ask what global.asa does (or is supposed to do)?

Mine says:

<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=MyInfo PROGID="MSWC.MyInfo">
</OBJECT>

Here you are.

Thanks. I'll start reading now.

I usually use it for application-wide variables and stuff too (not to mention counters, seeing how many users are on the website, etc.) - for instance things you know will be the same all over your website - then if you need to change something, you only need to change it in one place... i.e.:

Application("WEBMASTER_EMAIL") = "me@mydomain.com"

:)

Whammy, can you store strings in there?
Like not have to lincude my config file on every page, but just have my global.asa store StrWebmaster = "Me@Home.sad"

Would that work?

[whammy]

Yes, you can. But not with "store" (never heard of that)... just use what I showed. :)

Store - To hold on to, to stock up, to save, to collect

But I recently found out it needs that application thing.

so my thing would be:
Application("StrWebmaster") = "Me@Home.sad"

>>>-------> I'm still leanring!!!

P.S. I wasn't aware there was a lot of tension in this forum? If there is, and I'm overlooking it, please let me know. :)

I'm going to close this thread since it's been answered to allow for future questions... global.asa files among them. :D
