Name: CREATE-SESSION

Section: Session Operators

Synopsis:

`<create-session [VAR1[=MISSING-CODE]] ... [VARN=[MISSING-CODE]] [ALT=ALTCODE] [ALLOW-MULTIPLE]>`

Description:

Create a session, and place the session identifier in the variable `SID`. The key for the session is created by concatenating the values of the VARs together, separated by hyphens (`-`). If a VAR doesn't have a value, but does have an optional MISSING-CODE assignment, then the session is not created, and the MISSING-CODE for that variable is evaluated. If all of the variables have values in the page (or have no missing action), and the session could not be created, then ALTCODE is evaluated if it is present.

Finally, if ALLOW-MULTIPLE is present, it indicates that the key does not have to be unique; it is enough that the session is created and a session ID returned.
