Because CF is typeless, meaning that you dont have to declare if a variable
is a number or a string, NULL does not really apply.

If the variable is defined, then it has a value.

easy
-----------
<cfif myVar EQ "">

Check for length
----------------
<cfif Len(myVar) EQ 0> or <cfif NOT Len(myVar)>

check for a number
--------------
<cfif Val(myVar) EQ 0> or <cfif NOT Val(myVar)>

trim spaces
------------
<cfif Trim(myVar) EQ "">

<cfif Len(Trim(myVar)) EQ 0> or <cfif NOT Len(Trim(myVar))>

then
<cfif Val(Trim(myVar)) EQ 0> or <cfif NOT Val(Trim(myVar))>


If you wanting to see if the var has a value, I would use

<cfif Len(Trim(myVar))>

Subject: [cfaussie] Using IS NULL in CFIF


I don't think I covered this question last time I asked about Is Null.

How can I express a command like

<CFIF Var IS NULL>

?

This syntax is allowed inside SQL, but I need to do this or something like
it in CF. I'm still playing around with the results of left/right joins.


And while I'm at it, will someone please tell me how to search/access the
CFAussie archives ? I've had several goes at it, and never managed a
non-nil result.
