I have had to write this kind of code over and over, and was wondering if
there is a better way like in c++, where it does lazy evaluation.
This is what I want:
<CFIF isDefined("somevar") AND somevar IS "something">
do something
</CFIF>
Of course this fails, since if the variable is not defined, CF stil checks
the second condition. In languages like C++, it did lazy evaluation, so if
the first condition was false, it didn't bother checking the second
condition. This let people write things like
open(FILE,"file") || die "Can't open file";
So in CF I have to rewrite my above IF statement as 2 statements
<CFIF isDefined("somevar")>
<CFIF somevar IS "something">
do something
</CFIF>
</CFIF>
Is there a better way?
