Dynamic Var names
I'm having a mind blank (well it is gone 6 on Friday). Can you have dynamic var names?ie.g. you have a URL variable called test which has a numeric value and you want to use this in the name of a client var. e.g. test=1 and you want client.variable#url.test#.

dynamic var names
Does anyone know how to set dynamic variable names? Here's the situation. For each product in a shopping cart, I need to pull up the applicable shipping options and shipping charges and then create a number of vars which I'll use to increment the total shipping charge for the whole order for all items and all possible shipping methods. ---mark Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 Efax: 801-730-7289 Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 125160 / AIM: markwarric ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Dynamic Var names
Like so: OR I'm told the first method is a little quicker, and it's obviously less typing, and easier to read (in my opinion).

RE: dynamic var names
Yes - my provider's DNS servers are lightning fast. OK - this solves one problem, but not the 2nd part of the problem which is that I need to increment the shipping costs. I loop through a list of product ids first. While in the loop, I do a lookup to the shipping options lookup table for the product in the current step of the loop. The result is between 1 and 5 or so different shipping options (costs). Then the loop continues to the next product. So basically what I need to do is this Check for the existence of "shipping_cost#currentrow#". If the var exists, increment it with the current shipping cost for the current product. Otherwise set the var with the current shipping cost. At the end, I should have a certain number of vars based upon the available shipping methods. Does that make sense? ---mark Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 Efax: 801-730-7289 Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 125160 / AIM: markwarric > -Original Message- > From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 10:29 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: dynamic var names > > > Looks like your one of the few with good DNS. > Oh, and you can do this: > > OR > > > > - Original Message - > From: "Mark Warrick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 1:23 PM > Subject: dynamic var names > > > > Does anyone know how to set dynamic variable names? > > > > Here's the situation. > > > > For each product in a shopping cart, I need to pull up the applicable > > shipping options and shipping charges and then create a number of vars > which > > I'll use to increment the total shipping charge for the whole order for > all > > items and all possible shipping methods. > > > > ---mark > > > > > > Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com > > Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Phone: 714-547-5386 > > Efax: 801-730-7289 > > Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net > > Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com > > ICQ: 125160 / AIM: markwarric > > > > > > > > ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
