Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Question about client variables and Evaluate()
wow, a page recompile? first I heard that one. hey, sometimes evils can't be avoided, eh? Like driving on the 400 at 5pm, sometimes you just have to. IIRC, the ability to reference client vars in structure notation was introduced in CF6. So in CF5, you are out of luck so to speak. Are you using a DB to store those client vars? Maybe you can read them via a query and stick them in a struct in the session or something?

Title: Message
No,
unfortunately it won't work...that's why the GetClientVariablesList() existed in
5 and previous versionsif you could use it as a structure you would be able
to do StructKeyList().

Might sound strange, but I thought that CF5 allowed the [] notation on
scopes.
I
know it didn't have the variables scope, but I'm pretty sure that it used the
client scope like this.

client variables and Evaluate()
Hello
all,
I've got a
question regarding how to retrieve the value of a client variable without
using evaluate(). Before everyone bombards me with how evil evaluate()
is, let me just say I know!!!
Here's the
situation - need to code that will work in both CF5 and MX (as it is a mixed
environment of servers for the time being).
We spoke to a
macromedia rep and they stated that using evaluate() in MX causes a page
recompile which drastically hinders performance. Is there any way to
reference a client variable that will work for both CF5 and MX without using
evaluate()?
Example:
cfset
variableName = "companyAddress"
CF5
example:
cfoutput#Evaluate("client.#variableName#")#/cfoutput
MX
example:
cfoutput#client[variableName]#/cfoutput
Is there a way
to do it that will work for both without the evaluate?!
Thanks,
Allen
