Creating and deleting session variables

Use a standard assignment statement to create a new session variable, as follows:

<cflock timeout=20 scope="Session" type="Exclusive">
   <cfset Session.ShoppingCartItems = 0>
</cflock>

Use the structdelete tag to delete a session variable; for example:

<cflock timeout=20 scope="Session" type="Exclusive">
   <cfset StructDelete(Session, "ShoppingCartItems")>
</cflock>

Note: If you set session variables on a CFML template that uses the cflocation tag, ColdFusion might not set the variables. For more information, see Macromedia TechNote 22712 at www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=22712&Method=Full.
