Back in Sept there was a post on global collections. The final post
was: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
msg02625.html>
Is this the way to do it or am I still missing something?
In waiting page code:
$savedFormCollection := copy collection(_form;*)
session{"formCollectionHandle"} := $savedFormCollection
In SearchResults page code
$savedFormCollection := session{"formCollectionHandle"}
$searchValue := $savedFormCollection{"f_pmSearchValue"}
$searchImagesOnly := collection has
($savedFormCollection;"f_pmSearchImagesOnly")
$searchComparator := $savedFormCollection{"f_pmSearchComparator"}
That looks correct.
I'm trying to implement something similar, breaking a large form into
three parts and using session to store the first two parts. I've got
it working, but am concerned with what I read in the manual.
Note: Once you create a global collection, it is your responsibility
to delete it when it
is no longer needed.
and
Warning: Be sure to store the handle in a place where you can
retrieve it later, such
as in the globals collection.
Where does $savedFormCollection reside? I looked for it in Globals
but it does not show up. Does "on session end" take care of clearing
it since it is put in the session?
The only other global that I've defined was one on application start
with set global. I can get to that, but not sure I understand the
difference between "set global" and "copy collection" with a global
flag. If in the example from Sept, I don't have to delete
$savedFormCollection, that's fine, just don't quite understand.
