ASP Programming Technology Learning: Cookie Collection

A cookie is a text string handle sent to a client's browser and saved on the client's hard disk to persist data between sessions of a Web site. Both the request and response objects have a set of cookies.

The Request.cookie collection is a series of cookies sent from the client to the Web server, along with the HTTP request. Conversely, if you want to send cookies to the client, you can use the Response.cookie

1, ExpiresAbsolute Property

This property can be assigned a date, and after that date the cookie cannot be used again. You can delete a cookie by assigning an expiration date to the Expires property. Such as:

<%response.cookies ("Passtime").
Expiresabsolute= "1/1/99"%>

2, Domain properties

This property defines the unique domain that the cookie is to be routed. For example, the following code can be used if the cookie is sent only to people in Microsoft.

<%response.cookies ("Domain"). domain= "www.microsoft.com"%>

3, the ASP is used to write cookies to the client to send cookies The syntax is as follows:

Response.cookie ("Cookie name"). [(Key name]. property]= Content

If an ASP file is to create a cookie, the following code can be placed before the first

<%response.cookies ("cookiename") = "Newcookie"%>
......

4, the same ASP use the Request object's Cookies collection to read cookies, such as:

<%response.write request.cookies ("CookieName")%>

The following is a complete example to illustrate cookies:

<%
Dim Num
Num=request.cookies ("Visit_num")
If Num>0 Then
Num=num+1
Response.Write "You have been to the first" & Num & "Time to visit this site. "
Else
Response.Write "You are welcome to visit this site for the first time. "
Num=1
End If
Response.Cookies ("Visit_num") =num
%>

In this example, the cookie variable visit_num is first read to see if the client computer holds the cookie variable. If this variable is available, the user has already visited the page and entered the number of visits. If the user is accessing the page for the first time, the program will display the word "welcome" and then save the cookie variable visit_num to the user's computer so that the user can give the "number of visits" information the next time the page is accessed.

5. Cookie Dictionary

Sometimes in a page may need to define a lot of cookies variable, in order to better manage it, in the cookie component often introduce a person's concept "subkey." The syntax for referencing it is as follows:

Request.Cookies ("Change Name") ("sub-key Name")

As the following cookie creates a dictionary named "Dictionary", which holds three key values:

<%
Response.cookie ("info") ("myname") = "Jeff"
Response.cookie ("info") ("Gender") = "male"
Response.cookie ("info") ("myheight") = "172"
%>
