Hi,
How long is the session variable good for? Since session variables are memory resident by definition (server memory,) they are generally set to expire after 20 minutes at most. That’s where cookies come in handy.As soon as the browser is closed, the session ends, and the referral is lost. This is how I understand it, based on an explanation that was given to me recently. Someone please correct me if I misunderstood. :blush:
Bingoadvantage, you bring up an interesting point about the sessions expiring after a certain amount of time (even if the browser is not closed). I’d like to know the answer to that myself.
