CLIENT is made available to you as a structure but no, it can't store complex vars. Ignoring serialisation for now.
How to find out? Try it :O) Ade -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Le [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 March 2005 19:26 To: CF-Talk Subject: client variable: simple or complex? In Ben Forta's study guide, on page 100, he says "CLIENT variables can store only simple data (like numbers and strings), not complex data (like arrays, structures, and queries). On ColdFusion LiveDocs at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applica tions_with_CFML/sharedVars2.htm#1159639 It says: "All persistent scopes are available as ColdFusion structures. As a result, you can use ColdFusion structure functions to access and manipulate Client, Session, Application, and Server scope contents." This suggests that Client stores complex data. When I use cfdump, all, cookie, session, and client dumped out structures. I was very positive that cookies only contain simple data as it stores in plain text file, but now I am not sure. Can you tell me how I can find out the absolute true about which one cannot store complex data? Johnny -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
