1) ArrayNew() takes 1 argument being the dimension of the array so you need to say ArrayNew(1) 2) You are setting session.cart to the string of "arrayNew()" so you cant append the cart item because arrayNew(0 is a string, not an array so you need <cfparam name="session.cart", default="#Arraynew(1)# /> 3) If your cart item keys are the same as your form fields you can just do <cfset arrayAppend(session.cart, duplicate(FORM)) /> Just saves on code but if you have lots of fields in your form you don't need then maybe setting them manually as you have done may be better.
