Hi, there. In PHP, is there a file that's equivalent to global.asa in ASP
where you can perform initializations and cleanup?

Thanks,
Ever

I program both. As far as I know, there is nothing like that in PHP. It does make sense since php is lacking application and session variables (yikes!).

Closest would probably be the auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file
configuration directives.

Yes, there's no direct equivalent of application variables.

No, it isn't, PHP has session variables.

Hi Andy, I did not know php has session variables. Please advise. We are not talking about saving variables to cookies? That is not a "session variable"...

Session variables are not stored in cookies, they're stored serverside, same
as ASP.

http://uk2.php.net/session

Session variables are not stored in cookies, they're stored serverside, same
as ASP.

Live and learn. Did not know about sessions, Andy. Thanks for the link.

Based on my reading of that docs, sessions can either propagate via cookies or via url tags that php would automatically add. But the 2nd option requires building php as such (I would guess not available to shared hosting users). So just like asp, one needs to be cautious of cookies being enabled (unless one has access to php build).
