Dynamically creating and assigning session variables

I'm sure this isn't best practice, but I'm working with the menu event gateway example that ships with CF7 and I'm trying to generate the menu from a database replacing the hard-coded menu that is there. The menu is stored in a session variable and I need to dynamically assign the session name

Thanks Rob. I'll try and paste the entire code below. for(i=1; i LTE getTopLevel.recordset.recordcount; i=i+1) { tempName = getTopLevel.recordset.name[i]; tempCFC = gateway.imified.apps. getTopLevel.recordset.cfc_name[i]; tempMethod =

Re: Dynamically creating and assigning session variables

You have session.root.addChild. I take it that there is a CFC named root.cfc in your session scope with the method of addChild? If this is so and you are using cfscript, why not just call the method? session.root.addChild(name=#tempName#, key=#i#); You don't have to prefix a temporary variable
