Using session variables in your Web applications
This article describes how to create and use session variables in your Web applications. Session variables store information and make it available to all pages in the application for the duration of the user's visit. You can use session variables to store the user's display preferences, the running score of a multi-page quiz or a game, or items chosen so far in an online catalog.
The following topics are covered in this article:
- What session variables can do for you
- Gathering the information to store in session variables
- Storing information in session variables
- Example of information stored in session variables
- Retrieving values from session variables
- Example of values retrieved from session variables
Note: In ColdFusion, you must first enable session variables by setting SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes" in the CFAPPLICATION tag in your Application.cfm file, as follows: <CFAPPLICATION NAME="MyApp" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes">
