Your CFSET won't work, as written. What you're trying to do is to create
variables dynamically. You can do that like this:
<CFSET "Person#i#" = Form.Person>
or by using the SetVariable function:
<CFSET rs = SetVariable("Person" & i, Form.Person)>
Here, the variable "rs" is simply a placeholder, so that you can have an
assignment statement. As has been pointed out before, you could even leave
this off:
<CFSET SetVariable("Person" & i, Form.Person)>
Of the three, I'd recommend the second example, as it's explicitly supported
within CFML; the first one works, but it may not work in future versions.
