Introduction to Dynamic Web Page
� Dynamic means content on a web page can change in response to different context or conditions.
� More interactive than static web page
� Two ways:
� Client-side Scripting (e.g. JavaScript, VBScript)
� Server-side Scripting (e.g. PHP, Perl, ASP, JSP)

What is ASP?
� ASP stands for Active Server Pages
� ASP is a program that runs inside IIS
� IIS stands for Internet Information Services
� IIS comes as a free component with Win XP and Vista
![Page 7: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

How does ASP differ from HTML?
� When a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns the file.
� When a browser requests an ASP file, IIS passes the request to the ASP engine. The ASP engine reads the ASP file, line by line, and executes the scripts in the file. Finally, the ASP file is returned to the browser as
plain HTML.

Advantages of using ASP?
� Dynamically edit, change or add any content of a Web page
� Access any data or databases and return the results to a browser
� Provide security since your ASP code cannot be viewed from the browser

Session Object
� The Session object is used to store information about, or change settings for a user session.
� Variables stored in the Session object hold information about one single user, and are available to all pages in one application.
![Page 35: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Example 6
<html><head><%Session(“Username”) = “Raymond”%></head><body><p>My name is <%=session(“Username”)%>.</p></body></html>

37
Session Object
� A session ends if a user has not requested or refreshed a page for a specified period. (By default, this is 20 minutes)
� You can set the timeout property:
<% Session.Timeout=5 %>
![Page 38: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Session Object
� To end a session immediately, you may use the Abandon method:
<% Session.Abandon %>
Can you name one application of the Session object?
![Page 39: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Application Object
� The Application object is used to store and access variables from any page, just like the Session object.
� The difference is that ALL users share one Application object, while with Sessions there is one Session object for EACH user.
� The Application object in ASP is used to tie these files together.
![Page 40: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Application Object
� You can create Application variables in “Global.asa”
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Application_OnStart
application("vartime")=""
application("users")=1
End Sub
</script>
![Page 41: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
What is Global.asa?
� The “Global.asa” file is an optional file that can contain declarations of objects, variables, and methods.
� It can be accessed by every page in an ASP application.
� The “Global.asa” file must be stored in the root directory of the ASP application, and each application can only have one “Global.asa” file.
![Page 42: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Example 8
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visitors")=0 End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart Application.Lock Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")+1Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd Application.Lock Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")-1 Application.UnLock
End Sub</script>

<body>
<form action=" example10.asp" method="get">
Your name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Introduction to ADO
� ADO stands for Active-X Data Object
� It is a Microsoft Active-X component
� It is a programming interface to access data in a database
![Page 57: Using Active Server Page (ASP) to create Simple Web-database](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020702/61fb20572e268c58cd5a7477/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

Introduction to ADO
� Common way to access a database from inside an ASP page:
� Create an ADO connection to a database
� Open the database connection
� Create an ADO recordset (SQL is needed)
� Open the recordset
� Extract the data you want from the recordset (you need to know how to use SQL)
� Close the recordset
� Close the connection

Example 11� Open a MS access database called “student.mdb” in
the ASP folder.
“ ClassTeacher” table
“Student” Table

59
Example 11
� This example extract all student records from the table “Student”, then display them on a web page
� To do so, the following SQL is required:
select * from student

Alternative way to define the location of database
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

dbPath = Server.MapPath(“student.mdb")
conn.Open dbPath
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "Select * from student", conn
%>
The Server.MapPath() function can determine the absolute path of the database.

Example 12
� Display the student records of 1B in an HTML tables
� Only “classname”, “classno” and “enname” are displayed

Adding record to table
� You may use the SQL INSERT INTOcommand to add a record to a table in a database.
� A form is needed to collect information.
� The information collected is then sent to another ASP file for manipulation.

Problem
� If you try to update the database, you will get the error message: "You do not have permission to update this database".
� You get this error because you don't have write access to the server.
� To solve this problem, right-click the .mdb file and select Properties. Go to the Securitytab and set the access-rights there.
