<session></session>

Provided by module: Session tag module

Creates a session bound scope. The session is identified by a session key, given as argument to the session tag. The session key could be e.g. a key generated by &unique-id;, transported by form variables.


Attributes

id="string"

The key that identifies the session. Could e.g. be a name, an IP adress or a cookie.


life="number" (900)

Determines how many seconds the session is guaranteed to persist on the server side. Values over 900 means that the session variables will be stored in a disk based database when they have not been used within 900 seconds.


force-db

If used, the session variables will be immediatly written to the database. Normally, e.g. when not defined, session variables are only moved to the database when they have not been used for a while (given that they still have "time to live", as determined by the life attribute). This will increase the integrity of the session, since the variables will survive a server reboot, but it will also decrease performance somewhat.


scope="name" (session)

The name of the scope that is created inside the session tag.
