registrant.emergencyPhone.Phone.countryCode = 1;
...is equivalent to...
registrant["emergencyPhone"]["Phone"]["countryCode"] = 1;
Is this new in CFMX? I used to name variables with dots in them to
sort of give pseudo-scopes to groups of variable. Maybe it's always
behaved this way, but I never had occasion to dump one?
This has very strange consequences when doing something like this
(please try running this form yourself):
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="123" name="blah.blee.bloo">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<cfscript>
form.blah.blee.bloo = 234234;
</cfscript>
<cfdump var=#form#>
The dump shows both variables in the form scope, but shows the "true,"
posted form variable as a simple variable (blah.blee.bloo), but the
locally set form variable is a structure of structures.
I guess the lesson is not to have dots as delimiters in form vars
anymore, but can someone explain what's at work here? Also, can I (and
should I) always expect that this dot notation for structures will
work, and can I start using (and relying on) that notation?
Thanks,
Jamie
