Brings up an interesting point. During my tenure of client-server
development (VB,PowerBuilder,C) we always prefixed our variables with scope
and type. For example, ls_name would be a "local" variable of type
"string". However, in all the cf-talk threads, and books I rarely noticed
this technique used. Is there a reason for this? The type may not be as
useful, but the scope prefix would seem to eleviate the problem of multiple
scoped variables with the same name.
Any thoughts on this?

Hi Kevin,
All variables are scoped whether you like it or not.
Doing <cfset myvar = "xyz"> will create that variable in the scope
'variables'.
Scoped variables only really stop working when you have variables with the
same name in different scopes and you as the programmer aren't explicit
about which variable from which scope you want to use. It can get really
confusing if you're not careful...
Never happened to me.. Honest Guv! ;o)
Regards
Stephen
