Server
Object
|
The
Server Object is used to
access properties and methods
on the server.
The ASP Server object gives
you high level access to
the server itself. Using
its properties and mthoeds,
you can create objects,
execute code in other ASP
files, translate virtual
paths to physical paths,
and perform server-side
redirects. Here's where
ASP begins to become truly
interesting and powerful.

Server
Object Property
|
| Property |
Description |
| ScriptTimeout |
Specifies
the duration, in minutes,
after which a script timeout
if processing is not complete.
The default values is 90
seconds, which I consider
at least double the optimum
value except for very busy
sites or extremely large
pages. |

Server
Object Method
|
| Method |
Description |
| CreateObject(ProgID) |
Creates
an ActiveX object. You provide
a valid ProgID, for example
Server.Createobject("Scripting.Dictionary"). |
| Execute(filename) |
Executes
another ASP script. ASP
preserves the values of
all intrinsic objects during
the call. The executed pages
may return a value, for
example: ret=Server.Execute("aPage.asp"). |
| GetLastError |
Retrieves
the last ASP error values.
Use this method when creating
custom error pages. |
| HTMLEncode(string) |
Encodes
the string argument by replacing
ampersands, angle brackets,
and other non-text characters
with special tokens that
the browser will display
as the original character.
|
| MapPath(path) |
Performs
virtual path to physical
path conversion. The primary
use for the MapPath method
is to obtain a full physical
path to file resources,
as required by the FileSystemObject. |
| Transfer(filename) |
Transfers
processing to another ASP
file. ASP preserves the
values of all intrinsic
objects. Unlike the Server.Execute
method, this method does
not return to the caller.
Use this perform server-side
redirects and save the round
trip to the browser required
by Response.Redirect. |
| URLEncode(string) |
Applies
Base-64 encoding to the
characters in the string
arguments. |
