I'm trying to set a few variables in my Application.cfc file and I'm a
bit confused about scopes.
Here's what I have got:
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart">
<cfset APPLICATION.page_title = "My Title">
<cfreturn True>
</cffunction>
I can access this anywhere in my site as #APPLICATION.page_title#. But
if I leave off the APPLICATION and write
<cfset page_title = "My Title"> and then try to access a variable
#page_title# CF9 throws an error, saying the variable is not defined
(I restarted CF before testing this).
Variable PAGE_TITLE is undefined.
Why does this happen? Do I really need to prefix all variables with
APPLICATION? According to the debugger a variable defined in
Application.cfc without the APPLICATION prefix does not exist in any
scope.
