Jason.
Thank you so much for the request_uri variable. I'm putting in the code so
anyone else having this problem won't have to go through the trouble. The
point of this code is to get rid of the query string on the end of the url
so certain search engines don't choke on "?" and "&" etc. I've done it
before on NT servers and the extra hits from the search engines like
altavista.com and excite.com are very much appreciated by my customers.
Note:
1. This is set up for a list behind the url and your column names
need to be numeric (this is easy to remove if you don't. Just look at the
code and you'll figure it out).
2. If your on NT, I used cgi.path_info instead of request_uri
3. The code below works on a Cobalt box running linux anf cf 4.5 sp2
eg: www.mysite.com/page.cfm/1,4
Code example:
<cfset urllist =
"#replace(removeChars(request_uri,1,len(cgi.script_name)),"/","")#">
<cfif ListLen(urllist,",") gt 0 and IsNumeric(ListGetAt(urllist,1,","))>
<cfset "ID" = ListGetAt(urllist,1,",")>
<cfquery name="product_retrieve" datasource="your_data_source">
select *
from your_table
where ID='#ID#'
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
Sorry the product you have selected is no longer available (or what ever
you would like).
</cfif>
<cfset urllist =
"#replace(removeChars(request_uri,1,len(cgi.script_name)),"/","")#">
<cfif ListLen(urllist,",") gt 0 and IsNumeric(ListGetAt(urllist,2,","))>
<cfset "ID_2" = ListGetAt(urllist,2,",")>
<cfquery name="product_retrieve_2" datasource="your_data_source">
select *
from your_table
where ID='#ID#'
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
</cfif>
