pass variables
i have a problem passing variables to an edit page, it passes the field pol_question fine but for the answer fields my loop is incorrect, it just reproduces the answers 5 times each. each answer is the ans_answer table is related to the pol_question through the pol_id, any help would be appreciated, Update Poll SELECT pol_ID, pol_Question, pol_Category, pol_Status FROM pol_Poll WHERE pol_ID = #URL.PollID# SELECT ans_ID,ans_Ans FROM ans_Answer A WHERE ans_pol_ID = #url.PollID# Poll: Answer1: Answer2: Answer3: Answer4: Answer5: Status: All New Active Archive Hide Category: All sports current affairs General Yes/No Multiple Choice Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Try consolidating your code, combining the hidden vars and the input fields into a single loop. You were getting 5 answers for each loop because loops do what they are supposed to do: they loop through an entire query set. I didn't take the time to fully decipher the page you're trying to build, but you ought to be able to build it with only one or two loops and a few lines of code.

You might try using an index loop instead of a query loop, like so: This will replace all 5 of the loops in your current setup. A possible side benefit of this is that it'll create the variables for every row in the current query; of course, this might not be what you want, if your query is actually selecting a couple hundred rows... The rest of your output should remain the same. HTH Brandon Whitaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "It'll get used by the same people using Opera.

RE: pass variables
when you loop through the query, you only need to do it once - thats why its a called a loop...so instead of all those , try: Answer#variables.count#: Bert Dawson > -Original Message- > From: janey smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 12 July 2000 17:01 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: pass variables > > > i have a problem passing variables to an edit page, it passes > the field > pol_question fine but for the answer fields my loop is > incorrect, it just > reproduces the answers 5 times each. each answer is the > ans_answer table is > related to the pol_question through the pol_id, any help would be > appreciated, > > > > > Update Poll > > > alink="#CC9966"> > > > > > SELECT pol_ID, pol_Question, pol_Category, pol_Status > FROM pol_Poll > WHERE pol_ID = #URL.PollID# > > > > SELECT ans_ID,ans_Ans > FROM ans_Answer A > WHERE ans_pol_ID = #url.PollID# > > > > > > > Poll: name="pol_question" size=40 value="#pol_question#"> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Answer1: > > > Answer2: > > > Answer3: > > > Answer4: > > > Answer5: > > > > Status: > > All > New > Active > Archive > Hide > > Category: > > All > sports > current affairs > General > > > > Yes/No > > Multiple Choice > > > > > > > > > > > __ > __ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Ways to pass variables
Ok, one more question. I have a client that does not want variables passed through the URL ( security reasons ). But I am having problems passing a variable through a form (see previous message). Session variables are a not permitted on thie project. Does anyone have another idea on how to move variables and their values from page to page?

Re: Ways to pass variables
Hidden form fields can be views in the HTML page source view...so not ideal for security reasons either. It's less blatantly obvious but still viewable to prying eyes.

secure way to pass variables (was RE: Securing CF Apps.)
All this talk of ways to cracking systems has me paranoid. So what is the best way to pass a variable between 2 pages? Using SSL, encrypting/decrypting a session variable (or CFID CFTOKEN)? -Original Message- From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 10:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Securing CF Apps. > That's precisely what I'm saing.

Now the part about sa access only from localhost changes everything. That practice coupled with the schema lock down is very effective.

Having two firewalls protect the same network segment doesn't make sense. Although, I have heard arguments in favor of the practice. Seems like the law of diminishing returns applies to this practice. I believe the practice of applying driver level constraints that are already enforced by the database to be redundant and irrelevant. > If lists are such a poor outlet to spreading information, then why do > you even subscribe?

If you're worried about third parties being able to view HTTP requests and responses between the client and server, use SSL. I can't see why you'd want to encrypt and decrypt session variables, since they're stored in server memory. If you're concerned that the client might be able to see values that you send to it, you might encrypt and decrypt values received from the browser, although I don't think that's especially useful. In general, if something is sensitive enough that it shouldn't be sent to the client, don't send it to the client.
