Can anyone point me to documentation of the Sessions menu in FMS Pro? It has four submenus, Set, Unset, Start, and Destroy. These are functions I need, but I would like to just use them rather than proceed along blindly. Please note that I am not asking for help in coding a session variable. I would like to know how to use the Session feature in FMS Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I've actually not replied to this one as you should all know by now I don't even use the product ;-)

I can guess though.

Start - this will issue a session_start(); command, which is required on every page that uses sessions (and on a lot that don't, so that the session information is preserved for a page that does use them).

Set - I'm guessing to set the parameters of a session - see http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php

Unset - uses session_unset() to remove the values of all session variables. Rarely used, except for a logout function or similar. can also unset individual session variables.

Destroy - Usually used in conjunction with Unset. Destroys the session. Again, I only use this for logout functions...

Thanks. I honestly believe that your guess is much better than mine. thanks.

I guess this also shows that there is no documentation.

I found it! It's actually in two places: In Server Behaviors, the "Sessions" menu has a number of functions. Under Bindings, you can set Sessions or Cookies.
