that's not normal behavior for reserved words afaik wherein you'd get an error trying to set it that says something like "coldfusion booo00000000ooooooo121111123455433211 for internal use only do not use this in your code" ... that's sort of paraphrased...
anyway... it depends where you're trying to use the variable... if it's properly qualified as #url.state# or #variables.state# or the like, then you'll always know you're accessing the right variable, but... if it's in a function or a cfc or even just a regular cfm template you could have a conflict with an argument, a local CFC variable, or a variable in another scope. hth ike ------ Original Message ------ From: Tony Weeg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sep 04, 2003 12:44 PM Subject: Re: state a reserved word in cf? >I have a variable returned and want to call it state, when I try to >cfoutput it, as #state# >I gets nothing :( however, call it anything else...and BLAMMM its there? > >tony weeg >sr. web applications architect >navtrak, inc. >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >www.navtrak.net >office 410.548.2337 >fax 410.860.2337 > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
