In MX, you can do
<cfset variables[foo] = value>
Where foo is ID, this will make variables.id equal to value.
Before MX, you can use evaluate
<cfset foo = "id">
<cfset evaluate("#foo#=1")>
<cfoutput>#id#</cfoutput>
Although this is icky. ;) If I needed to set a bunch of dynamically
named vars prior to MX, I'd just make a struct:
<cfset mycrap = structNew()>
<cfset mycrap[foo] = value>
