And finally, do you really want a user to be able to add any random CF
expression into the DB to be executed? Combine this with something like a
URL variable or form post and the results could make SQL injection look like
a minor inconvenience.
Replacing placeholders is much safer.
mxAjax / CFAja
Yeah but you have to be careful with how much you use those functions in an
application. I know at least on our CF6 server here for one project that
extensively uses those it does in fact eat up a good bit of resources when a
normal user load is on it.

Right. A good practice to avoid trouble if you don't scope is at least
to use different
names for variables in different scopes, especially with queries.

OOOohhh *slaps forehead*
Like I said if it is in a loop over a query then you need to scope the
variables within the div elements.
That is your problem.

Did you do this one Phillip.
I'm late to this discussion so I don't really know what your issue is.
But you have some pretty ambiguous code here.

Not sure if you're understanding fully, so I'll simplify completely:

Like Aaron and Peter said, SCOPE your variables like so:
#VARIABLES.Question#
#VARIABLES.Answer#
When you are referencing #Question# you are actually
>>Replace(FAQ.Question, '$$UserCount$$', usercount, "ALL")
It may also be an question of upper/lower case.
Are you sure you always have "UserCount" ?
If not, use replaceNoCase() instead.
>>just doesn't show any usercount.
Does it show any '$$UserCount$$' then ?

Heh.. True enough.

I'm just using a cfoutput querry loop.
But I put in [CurrentRow] just in case. No change. Still not working.

If you have someone kick you every time you do it, you can break most habits

That sounds likely to be the problem - CF will give priority to the query vars
in resolving unscoped variables.
To clarify a little, the possible solutions are:
1) Scope the variable, e.g. usin

So yeah. it's looping fine. Just doesn't show any usercount.

Not sure - make sure the database contains this text:
"We have currently $$UserCount$$ players signed up with this site"
?
Also, your code has far too many hashes - here it is cleaned up a little:

Is it inside a loop over a query? If so then scope your outputed variables
in those div elements. Also do not need the pound signs in your two cfsets
both on the replace functions and the usercount variables.

The short answer is: you don't.
The longer version is, you can setup placeholders and do a replace on them
to enter the values that you're wanting to use.

cf won't evaluate your variable inside a variable (#users.recordcount#
inside #FAQ.answer").
you best bet will be to either store that text in a cfm file and
cfinclude it, or do it on the fly by pulling that text from db, writing
it to a temp file and cfinclude that file.
