Yes, structures are basically the same as associative arrays. The cool thing
with CF structure though is you can refer to elements using names instead of
numerics. Try:
<cfset Groups=structnew()>
<cfset Groups.ID="x">
<cfset Groups.Website="xyz.com">
To reference elements use: Groups[website]
Read up on structures to geet a feel for making things more dynamic, and
looping over structures,etc.

Subject: Associative Arrays?
Hey everyone. I was wondering if Cold Fusion offers associative arrays, or
hashes as they are called in perl.
What I want to do is somethign like this:
Group, Group's Website, Group, et cetera.
So that when i need to, I can refer to the groups website by
arraryname[group]
any suggestions?
