RE: [PHP4BETA] quick wishlist...

I think there might be a misconception about the use of the global.asa file. As I understand it (and Micro$oft may explain it differently), the global.asa file is for running four subroutines that are event driven. The four events are: 1. The start of the Application (the first time a request is made for a document in that directory (or one of it's subdirectories) after the web server has been started). 2. The end of the Application (when the web server shuts down). 3. The start of a new Session (when a request is made for a document in that directory (or one of it's subdirectories) by a browser who has not been given a session cookie yet) 4. The end of a session (after no requests have been made for documents in that directory (or one of it's subdirectories) by a browser with a certain session cookie for a specified period of time). Forgive me, because I really don't know too much about programming or PHP, but that is my understanding of the functionality of the global.asa file. Is there a similar functionality available in PHP4? Brian Lakstins On Fri, 13 Aug 1999, rfeather wrote: > No. A global.asa file is a text file that ASP looks for when it goes into a > directory.
