Ok, tracked it down to the switch statement:
switch(type)
{
case request.AUTH_ACL:
result = u_access[j][key];
case request.AUTH_MOD:
result = result OR u_access[j]['auth_mod'];
case request.AUTH_ADMIN:
result = result OR is_admin;
break;
}
On reading the cf reference I see that in a switch statement:
³Each constant value must be a constant (that is, not a variable, a
function, or other _expression_).²
As you can see each of my caseıs is a variable which is the problem... Is
there any way of using the variable but not getting the error?
