I'm trying to dynamically create/assign variables whose names are in an array. I wish to create a variable with default information and if the form version of the variable is defined (it's a checkbox coming from a form on another page) then I'd like it to have different information.
<cfset the_field = listToArray("contact_correspondence,contact_email,contact_event_off_campus,")> <cfloop index="ii" from="1" to="#arrayLen(the_field)#"> <cfset var1= "#the_field[ii]#"> <cfset "#var1#" = "false"> <cfif isDefined('form.#the_field[ii]#')> <cfset "#var1#" = "true"> </cfif> <cfoutput>#the_field[ii]#:#contact_event_off_campus#</cfoutput><br> </cfloop> Oddly to me, if the field exists - that it was a checked checkbox, the output works fine, otherwise it gives a "variable not defined" error on the output. It seems to me that the variable should be defined whether a form field existed or not since I set that before the IF. thanks for any assistance. I hope I described it ok. daniel - webtool - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:242050 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
