start small, start with a 1 dim array.
<cfset myNameArray = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset myNameArray[1] = "Tim">
<cfset myNameArray[2] = "Laureska">
Hello world, my name is
<cfoutput>#myNameArray[1]# #myNameArray[2]#</cfoutput>

Thanks Joe... I'm new to arrays and structures so kinda feeling my way
here... I'd like to stick with an array for now so I can learn how they
work, but not having much success yet

Hi Tim,
I'm not sure why you're using a two-dimensional array here - also,
this looks like a place where a structure could simplify your life
greatly. Instead of having to remember "1 = issue, 2 = title, etc.,"
with a structure, you can just name things what they are.
Maybe try something like this:
<cfset cassette_Structure = structNew()>
<!--- Each of these could also be written 'cfset
casette_Structure["issue"]' --->
<cfset cassette_Structure.issue = form.issue>
<cfset cassette_Structure.title = form.title>
<cfset cassette_Structure.date1 = form.date1>
<cfset cassette_Structure.publication = form.publication>
<cfoutput>
#cassette_Structure.issue#<br>
#cassette_Structure.title#<br>
#cassette_Structure.date1#<br>
#cassette_Structure.publication#<br>
</cfoutput>
<!--- CF also provides a type of CFLOOP just for structures --->
<cfloop collection="#cassette_Structure#" item="i">
<cfoutput>#i#: #cassette_Structure[i]#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
You can expand on this at will - if you need to keep track of multiple
cassettes, you could create a cassette_Array where each element is, in
turn, a cassette_Structure like the one created above.

This is the first time I've tried to use an array and I have a very
basic question... how do you get the array contents to display !? this
must be something silly I'm not doing
I have one form template that sends 4 form field entries to a processing
template. The processing template looks as follows (I'm not exactly
sure the cfsets are right but it doesn't throw an error but nor does it
output anything either):
<cfset cassettes_Array=ArrayNew(2)>
<cfset cassettes_Array[ArrayLen(cassettes_Array)+1][1]=#form.issue#>
<cfset cassettes_Array[ArrayLen(cassettes_Array)+1][2]=#form.title#>
<cfset cassettes_Array[ArrayLen(cassettes_Array)+1][3]=#form.date1#>
<cfset
cassettes_Array[ArrayLen(cassettes_Array)+1][4]=#form.publication#>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(cassettes_Array)#" index="i">
#cassettes_Array[i]#<br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
TIA
Tim
