ASP (Active Server Page) : Morteza Sargolzaie Javan IT Scientific Society

This document discusses dynamic web pages created using Active Server Pages (ASP). It provides an overview of static versus dynamic web pages, server-side versus client-side processing, and different technologies for creating dynamic pages including ASP, PHP, and Java Server Pages. It also describes what an ASP file is, how ASP files interact with the server and browser, and how to install and run ASP on Microsoft's Internet Information Services web server.

Static Web Pages
 Page content doesn’t change.
 Same every time it is delivered by the web
server
 Pages we have created so far

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 2


Static Web Page Delivery
Web Server
1 3 Web server locates .htm file
Author writes
HTML
4 HTML stream returned to browser

2 5
Client requests page Browser processes

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 3


Client
Dynamic Web Pages
 Created on the fly based on user actions
or current conditions.
 Allows the page to be customized to the
user and the situation.

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 4


Server-side vs. Client-side Processing
 Computer processing can happen in two
locations
 Server:
 Accepts request, finds page, sends it
 Client:
 Gets HTML (or more?) from net, processes it,
displays it
 Advanced things can happen on one or
both sides

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 6


Server-side Dynamic Page Delivery
Web Server

Many Technology Choices
 Client-Side Technologies:
 Scripting languages: JavaScript, VBScript
 Java applets
 XML
 Server-Side Alternatives:
 CGI
 Active Server Pages (ASP)
 PHP
 Java Server Pages (JSP)
 ColdFusion

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 9


?Server-side scripts or Client-side scripts
 Server-side  Client-side
 Processed by server  Processed by browser
 Does not rely on browser  Does not depend on web
support server requirements
 Provide browser with data  Does not need to interact
that does not reside on with server to create
client content
 Script code not visible in  processed by browser
page source  Script code is viewable in
 Can page source
 Manage sessions
(shopping baskets, etc.)
 Database processing

ASP – Middleware for Windows platform
 ASP stands for Active Server Pages

 VBScript is the default scripting language for


ASP

 If you are looking for some special software to


write an ASP page, Microsoft Visual InterDev is
the best tool for you.

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 12


ASP – Middleware for Windows platform
 Active Server Page can include both client side
and server side scripts.

 In an ASP page VBScript is usually used as the


server side and Java Script as the client side
scripting language

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 13


?What is an ASP file
 An ASP file is just the same as an HTML file
 An ASP file can contain text, HTML, XML, and
scripts
 Scripts in an ASP file are executed on the server
 An ASP file has the file extension *.asp

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 14


?What is an ASP file
<HTML>
<HEAD> <TITLE>Hello World</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<%
' This will print to the browser the 
' words Hello, ASP World.
response.write "Hello, ASP World!"
%>
</BODY></HTML>

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 15


What can be done with ASP
 Dynamically edit, change or add any content of a
Web page
 Respond to user queries or data submitted from
HTML forms
 Access any data or databases and return the
results to a browser

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 16


Client/Server Interaction for ASP Files
Server

Server locates
Client requests Client
the ASP file on
the hard drive ASP File
and parses it,
removing all
ASP script and
replacing it with
HTML text Server returns HTML
text to client

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 17

Client/Server Interaction for ASP Files
<HTML>
<HEAD> <TITLE>Hello World</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<%
File On ' This will print to the browser the 
Server ' words Hello, ASP World.
response.write "Hello, ASP World!"

Client Hello, ASP World!

ASP compatibility
 ASP is an engine/program built into Internet Information
Server (IIS) / Personal Web Server (PWS)

 PWS is a smaller - but fully functional - version of IIS

 To run IIS you must have Windows NT 4.0 or later

 To run PWS you must have Windows 95 or later

ASP Object Model
 ASP itself is not Object-Oriented. ASP can
use objects but cannot define new objects
 Composed of
 5 objects

 Request
 Response
 Server
 Application
 Session

Response
 Can send output to user through web
page
 Can set cookie values

 Can redirect
 Example <% Response.Write “message”
%>

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 32


Session
 Store user information during request and
response and request and response….
 Want to identify, maintain user
information or state in stateless HTTP
protocol
 Client has an id number and expiration
time from last request or expires
 Client can terminate or abandon causing
Session object to be destroyed as well

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 33


Application
 Information about entire website
 Global variables
 Example is a counter
 Lock and UnLock to access to update

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 34


Server
 Server related utility functions
 Script time out for running say a DB query
 Create an object like DB object
 Can enable URL encoding
 Example:
Request.ServerVariable(REMOTE_ADDR)

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 35


VBscript
 <% … %> open and close script area
 <% Response.Write (“message”) %>
 <% = “message” %>
 <% = sStr1 %>
 & is concatenate operator
 <% Request.QueryString(“fname”) %>
 <% Request (fname) %>
 Server.CreateObject(“ADODB.connection”)
 Include statement for reuse of say login,
password

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 36


Logic
 If … then …. Else … end if
 Not case sensitive
 For statement

For I = 1 to 8 statements Next


 While statement Wend
 Case statement

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 37


Functions
 Type casting like CStr(expression)
 Checking type, Date,
 Searching (strings)
 Math abs(number)
 Also, user defined function and subroutines.
Function can return a value, subroutines cannot,
and example:
Function add(a,b) add=a+b End Function

IT Scientific Society - December 2006 38


Operators
 Concatenation operator is &
(watch use of ‘ and “ to build string with
variables)
 + - * < > or and mod etc.
 = also = to print out
