The Session.OnStart() Event

Introduction

The Session.OnStart event is called whenever a session starts for the first time. This event can be useful to increment the number of online users on a web site.

Example (global.asa)

<script language="vbscript" runat="server">

Sub Session_OnStart

       Application("CurrentUserCounts") = Application("CurrentUserCounts") + 1

       session("memberId") = trim(request.cookies("member")("memberId"))

End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd

       Application("CurrentUserCounts") = Application("CurrentUserCounts") - 1

End Sub

</script>

Example (session_object_event_onstart_example.asp)

<%

       response.write Application ("CurrentUserCounts") & " open sessions."

%>
