I'll give ya one that's fresh on my mind since it just came up on
CFDJ-list :
Don't use Evaluate to get values from structures.
Bad:
<cfloop item="key" collection="#struct#">
<cfoutput>The value of struct.#key# is
#Evaluate("struct.#key#")#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Good:
<cfloop item="key" collection="#struct#">
<cfoutput>The value of struct.#key# is
#struct[key]#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Don't forget that Form is a structure as well, so to 'dump' the Form
results... well, you can use <cfdump> in CF5, or:
<cfloop item="key" collection="#form#">
<cfoutput>Form.#key# is #Form[key]#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Another tip:
Never, ever pass the name of a file to be cfincluded via the query
string, ie:
www.foo.com/foo.cfm?f=ray.cfm
where foo.cfm does:
<cfinclude file="#URL.f#">
Why? Imagine what happens when the user changes ray.cfm in their browser
to foo.cfm.
