ASP Tutorial

What is ASP?
ASP is acronym for Active Server Page. Its Server side script language developed by
Microsoft. When ASP file is request by the browser the browser does not send the page bac!
to the client browser instead its content is interpreted " processed by the server. ASP is also
script language that you combine with #$M% document if your server supports ASP. $he default
language is &'Script. #owever you can specify to use (avaScript or perlScript. If you are
building )*commerce page ASP is your ideal language or one of the languages on your choice
list.
Tools
In order to build ASP pages on your P+ first you need to install PWS ,Microsoft Personal Web
Server- or IIS ,Internet Information Server- for the internet. .ou can download PWS from
Microsoft web site/ here . .ou can also learn how to set up here.
0therwise you need host a that provides ASP server. see list of hosts.

&ariables " Arrays
ASP variables are declared using &'Script declaration type. Assumming &bScript is used this
is how you declare variable/ <IM varaible=ame or +onst variable=ame. If you want re>ect
undeclared variables use 14 0ption )?plicit 42 at the beginning of your page. .ou would
often see these two lines/
14@ %anguage:;&bscript; 42
14 0ption )?plicit 42
at the beginning of ASP pages. Airst line sets the language and the second line watches
undeclared variables. &'Script and (avaScript variables are variant type variable which means
they can ta!e any type of values. Any variable name must start with letter or underscore.
Watch this program to see how variables are used/
14
<im name email age
name:8(ohn M8
email:8you@you.com8
age:BCD
response.write67.our =ame/ 7 " name " ;1br2;9
response.write67.our )mail/ 7 " email " ;1br;29
response.Write67.our age/ 7 " age9E
42
$he following is the result from the above e?ample/
.our =ame/ 'orn 'orner
.our )mail/ you@you.com
.our Age/ BCD
ASP Arrays
An array is an inde?ed list of things called elements or group of related variables. Aor e?ample
say that we want declare variables for list of cars li!e thisE <im carF carG carG carB....
#ere is how you would declare list of cars using array/
<im cars6B9E We simply declared array that ta!es H items. $o assign values to this array do
these/
cars6I9:;(eep Jrand +hero!ee;
cars6F9:;(eep Wrangler;
cars6G9:;(eep %iberty;
cars6B9:;(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood; Kse this statement to write an item in the array/
response.write6cars6B99 $his will write the Hth car on the list.
#ere is the e?ample we did in code
Example Result Explanation
14
dim cars6B9
(eep Jrand +hero!ee (eep
Wrangler (eep %iberty
(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood
$his is simply illustration
=0$ good e?ample. If you
writing items from an array
you would probably write all
cars6B9:;(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood;
response.write6cars6I9"; ;9
response.write6cars6F9"; ;9
response.write6cars6G9"; ;9
response.write6cars6B99
42
the items at one time using
loops instead of listing
response.write statements.
$o write the array using for loop statement do this.
14
dim cars6B9
dim ?
cars6B9:;(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood;
for ?: I to B
response.write6cars6?9";
;9
ne?t42
(eep Jrand +hero!ee
(eep Wrangler
(eep %iberty
(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood
$he variable ? which starts
from I to B acts as an inde?
for the array.
Two dimensional Arrays
.ou can define two or more dimensional arrays by puting numbers withing the parenthesis.
#ere is how you would define two dimensional array <im cars6BB9. $he reason you may use
this type of array is when you have records of each item. Aor e?ample car year price... and
you want display one record at a time.
$he following is an e?ample of two dimensional array/
14
dim carF6BG9
dim ?i
carF6II9:;(eep Jrand +hero!ee;
carF6IG9:GIIG
carF6FF9:;(eep Wrangler;
carF6FG9:GIIG
carF6GF9:;(eep %iberty;
carF6GG9:GIIB
carF6BF9:;(eep +hero!ee 'riarwood;
carF6BG9:GIIB
for ?:I to B
(eep
Jrand
+hero!ee
GIIG
(eep
Wrangler
GIIG
(eep
%iberty
GIIB
(eep
+hero!ee
$his array has three cars
and each car has two fields
or columns. ItLs li!e a table
row I has record of one car
row F has record of another
car and so on We also
define nested for loops.
Airst one reads the row and
second one reads the
column
for i :I to G

ASP Sub Procedures
ASP Sub Procedures are a collection of ASP
statements that perform a tas! and are e?ecuted by an
event procedure. )vent Procedures are any clic!able
ob>ects or onload event. Sub procedures do not return a
value but e?ecutes itLs content on ;call;.

$his is an asp sub procedure that is used to write information stored in variables/

14
Sub JetInfo69
dim nametelephonefee
name:;Mr. (ohn <oe;
telephone:;CCC*CCCC;
fee:GI
5esponse.write6;=ame/ ;" name ";1br2;9
5esponse.write6;$elephone/ ;" telephone
";1br2;9
5esponse.write6;Aee/ ;" fee ";1br2;9
)nd Sub
JetInfo69
42
$his e?ample simply declares populates "
writes three variables in the asp sub procedure
LJetInfoL. $his sub is e?ecuted right after the end
sub.

#ere is the e?ecution result/

=ame/ Mr. (ohn <oe
$elephone/ CCC*CCCC
Aee/ GI

.ou can pass an argument to the asp sub procedure and provide the value6s9 when calling it.
$his is an asp sub procedure that accepts an argument/

ASP Function Procedures
ASP Aunction Procedures are a series of VBscript statements enclosed by the LAunctionL and
L)nd AunctionL statements. Aunction procedures are similar to a LSub procedureL but can also
return a value. An asp function procedure can accept arguments 6constants variables or
e?pressions9 that are passed to it by calling a procedure9.

$his is a none-parameterized asp function procedure/

14
function user=ame69
user=ame:;Mary%ou;
end function
42

$his function procedure remembers a username. .ou can use this function any number of times
in your program and you can change it once to maintain it* use Luser=ame69L to call this
function. Aor e?ample/ response.write6;$he username is/ ;"user=ame699

$his is a parameterized asp function procedure/

14
Aunction total6price9
dim ta?
ta?:priceM.IO
total:pricePta?
end Aunction
42

$he price value is provided when calling the function* )?ample/ response.write6;$he total price
is/ ; " total6CI99
$his is an asp function procedure that accepts an argument/

14
Aunction profit6sellPrice cost9
dim pr

)nd Aunction
dim currProfit currProfit:profit6FGQIQOI9
5esponse.write6;Profit/ R;"currProfit9

Profit/ RBOI
ASP ! Statements
Ksing if statement ASP has the ability to ma!e distinctions between different possibilities. Aor
e?ample you might have a script that chec!s if a variable consists certain type of values.
#ere is synta? for asp if statement.
14
if condition is true then
do something
else
do something else
end if
42
+hec! the following if statement that chec!s if a variable has a value equal to F.
14
dim n
n :F
if n: F then
response.write6;= has the value equal to
F;9
else
response.write6;= is not equal to one;9
end if
42
5esult/
= has the value equal
to F
"ested ! Statement
.ou would be able to chec! variety of conditions based on deversified values.
$he following e?ample is nested if statement to chec! two conditions/
14
dim fruitF fruitG inSstore
$his if statement will chec! if the variable
in_store is equal either F or G and displays
fruitF:;Apple;
fruitG:;0range;
inSstore:F
if inSstore:F then
42
14:fruitF42 is in store
14
else if inSstore:G then
42
14:fruitG42 is in store
14
else
response.write6;=o value specified;9
end if
42
fruitF or fruitG according to the true condition. <
%=fruit1%> will display the value of the
specified variable. ItLs similar to
response.write(fruit1).
5esult/ Apple is in store
Sub Procedures +ase statement
ASP #ase Statements
+ase statement can be used instead of if statement suitably when one condition could have
multiple possibilities. Aollowing e?ample illustrates the use of case statement
14 <im dat
dat:Wee!<ay6<ate9
42
14
Select +ase dat
case F
response.write6;$oday is Sunday;9
case G
response.write6;$oday is Monday;9
case B
response.write6;$oday is $uesday;9
case H
response.write6;$oday is Wednesday;9
case C
response.write6;$oday is $hursday;9
case D
response.write6;$oday is Ariday;9
case T
response.write6;$oday is Saturday;9
5esult/
$oday is $hursday
$his e?ample is to show the use of case
statement and there is better way to show the
day of the wee! in asp. $he variable dat is set
to the day of the wee! and it could have values
from F to T F is Sunday and T is Saturday.
+ase statement is used to display the day of
the wee! according to the value of variable dat.
end select
42
If Statements %oops
ASP $oop Statements
%oops are set of instructions that repeat elements in specific number of times. +ounter variable
is used to increment or decrement with each repetition of the loop. $he two ma>or groups of
loops are Aor..=e?t and <o..%oop. While..Wend is another type of <o..%oop. $he Aor
statements are best used when you want to perform a loop in specific number of times. $he <o
and While statements are best used to perform a loop an undetermined number of times.
$his is a Aor..=e?t e?ample which counts from F to C.

$he above e?ample increments a variable counter from I to C $he values of counter are
incremented by F on each run before D. We can modified how the values are incremented by
adding step U to the for counter statement.
#ere is Aor..=e?t e?ample incrementing values by two.

%o $oop
$he <o..%oop structure repeats a bloc! of statements until a specified condition is met. $here
are three types of <o..%oops. <o..Kntil <o..While and While..Wend. <o..While and
While..Wend performs a loop statement as long as the condition being tested is true while
<o..Kntil performs a loop statement as long as the condition tested is false. In both cases you
have a choice to perform the test at start of the loop or at the end of the loop
$his <o..Kntil loop e?ample performs the test at the start of the loop/
