They are not global in the sense of application or server variables - in fact, I wouldn't use the word global at all. A request variable will exist for the entire request. So, if you set request.foo in Application.cfm, the template you called will have access to request.foo, as will any custom tag called. onRequestEnd.cfm will also have access to the variable.
Request variables are NOT global at all. If I set request.foo to randrange(1,100), I will get a different request.foo variable then you will (most likely ;). ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Everland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 10:00 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: request scope. > > > You know I use request variables, but what do they do.
