Re: The ASP "application" object in PHP?

Hi It uses cookies and only cookies and it seems that sessions are started on every access but can be turned off on individual pages if required. Tom At 07:44 AM 2/16/02, Peter J. Schoenster wrote:

For those of you not familiar with ASP, the lowdown is this: The application object acts like a global session. You assign it variables and values like you would a session, but those variables are available to all instances and sessions. It is for example very useful to track different users at the same time, or to send messages from one session to another, or the likes. Anything like this in PHP, or will I have to find a workaround for it, or *ick* do that little sniplet in ASP? Well how does it work? Is it advertised as M$ magic in the class? Is http not stateless? I don't follow your description and I don't believe in magic. Is it using cookies? If not what? It must be using something? I bet it's using cookies. Sounds a lot like what you normally do with sessions. I don't follow the "send message from one session to another" ... is this not just normal course for sessions? I'd like more explanation before I believe that this is any more than just a module.
