Web Sessions

[Moe]

I am running Server Advanced. I have enabled database sessions in the publish engine config, but I cannot seem to use them.

I am using XSLT. I want to put some data in a global field, then access that data from a filemaker script, as well as from the web. I tried the method described in the CWP manual, where you say

?-db=whatever&-lay=whatever&globalfield.global=whatever&-script=somescript&-new

but it doesn't work. Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks,

Moe

What does not work? The setting of the global or the script, or both?

The CWP Guide is a little inaccurate with respect to globals. See http://fmforums.com/forum/showpost.php?post/162411/

It looks like I have sessions working after all. I need to search a table for a value and then, depending on wether or not the value exists, either add a new record or do nothing.

I've tried setting a global and then executing a script that "enters find", "sets field from global" and then "performs find". It works fine in filemaker but when I run it from the web it doesn't work.

Any advice?

Thanks.

You don't need a script to do that. You can do everything in XSL: See http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/151616/
