It would defeat the purpose and wonder of ColdFusion being typeless etc.

Yeah, I wish there was an admin setting that would REQUIRE all variables to be scoped (like VB's "Option Explicit"). Of course, I sometimes get lazy and don't include the "variables." scope prefix, so I'd get stung by this once in a while too, but hey, that would be a good thing. Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 1:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Shocked! I just looked at some code from another developer and noticed that they were accessing variables in the arguments scope witout using the ARGUMENTS. prefix to the variable name. I was about to wander over to him and ask him why his application wasn't working when I decided I'd better test it first. I was shocked to see my test function work. I just can't believe that Adobe would even expose those variables without a scope prefix. I know that it does a top-down search through the myriad of scopes, but this just seems flat out dangerous.
