Livecode Server Sessions

[Simon Smith]

Hi Igor

Sessions on LiveCode are pretty easy to use and work in a similar fashion
to other languages like php. You just need to ensure that you use the stop
session command aswell somewhere in the scripts., as that is when
everything gets written to the session variable.

e.g. Script 1:

<?lc
start session
put "test" into $_SESSION["myVar"]
put quote & $_SESSION["myVar"] & quote && "saved to session variable"
stop session
?>

Script 2 can now access the saved session variable:

<?lc
start session
put quote & $_SESSION["myVar"] & quote && "read from session variable"
stop session
?>


There are a couple of other commands for sessions that add some more
flexibility that you should be able to find in the dictionary.

   - delete session
   - sessionCookieName
   - sessionID
   - sessionLivetime
   - sessionName
   - sessionSavePath


Hope this helps.
Simon
