Try this,
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="52" step="1">
<cfoutput>
<cfset someone = "person#i#">
<cfset someone2 = form.person>
#someone# #someone2#<br>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
I put the display in there to test it myself, you can take it out if you
want. There really would be no point in saying person#i# = form.person, then
you may as well just say form.person because you would be doing the same
thing. So if you were gonna do this to a database and there were 52 person
fields you would look the query, but other than that I would need a better
explanation.

Subject: Simple CFSET and loop question.
I'm trying to set 52 variables to the same value. I'm not familiar with how
loops work, but here's what I've tried and hasn't worked:
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="52">
<cfoutput>
<cfset person#i# = form.person>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Result:
Just in time compilation error
Invalid parser construct found on line 5 at position 15. ColdFusion was
looking at the following text:
#
Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the expression
structure.
I know it won't work without putting the index inside pound signs. How do I
set 52 variables - person1, person2, person 3... person52 using this loop?
Thanks,
