Some extraneous quotes and hash marks in there might be crossing you up.
Try this:
<cfset the_field =
listToArray("contact_correspondence,contact_email,contact_event_off_camp
us,")>
<cfloop index="ii" from="1" to="#arrayLen(the_field)#">
<cfset var1=the_field[ii]>
<cfset variables[var1] = structKeyExists(form,var1)>
<cfoutput>#variables.var1#:#contact_event_off_campus#</cfoutput><br>
</cfloop>
I'm not sure what #contact_event_off_campus# is supposed to be doing.

Subject: dynamically created variables
I'm trying to dynamically create/assign variables whose names are in an
array. I wish to create a variable with default information and if the
form version of the variable is defined (it's a checkbox coming from a
form on another page) then I'd like it to have different information.
<cfset the_field =
listToArray("contact_correspondence,contact_email,contact_event_off_camp
us,")>
<cfloop index="ii" from="1" to="#arrayLen(the_field)#">
<cfset var1= "#the_field[ii]#">
<cfset "#var1#" = "false">
<cfif isDefined('form.#the_field[ii]#')>
<cfset "#var1#" = "true">
</cfif>
<cfoutput>#the_field[ii]#:#contact_event_off_campus#</cfoutput><br>
</cfloop>
Oddly to me, if the field exists - that it was a checked checkbox, the
output works fine, otherwise it gives a "variable not defined" error on
the output. It seems to me that the variable should be defined whether
a form field existed or not since I set that before the IF.
thanks for any assistance. I hope I described it ok.
