Why not try, IsArray(Session[myvar])?
Don't forget that Session is a struct, so, you can use [] notation to access
values.
As a general comment, and this isn't to you Costas, I see _way_ too many
people who forget that they can easily access values in structs, even
dynamic values, by using brackets. I see _way_ too many people use evaluate
instead, which is not the fastest or best solution.
If you have a dynamic key in a structure, you can get the value like so:
<CFSET KEY = "Set by some other thing">
<CFSET Val = TheStruct[Key]>
Do that instead of... <CFSET VAL = Evaluate("TheStruct." & KEY)>
Just a tip. :)
