Here's an example I posted in a recent thread that I think demonstrates the importance of declaring local variables. It is for a UDF but applies to methods in cfcs aswell:
<!--- UDF ---> <cffunction name="foo"> <cfset i = 100> <cfreturn 'bar'> </cffunction> <!--- Calling template ---> <cfoutput> <cfset i = 1> <cfloop condition="i LT 10"> <cfset bar = foo()> #i#<br /> <cfset i = i + 1> </cfloop> </cfoutput> HTH Dominic Blog it up: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301356 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
