Hi
Steve,
I
realize I do not need to copy the structure back to where it originated from,
however many years of development will show you that it is definitely a good
practise, and will help to keep your code clean.

Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Form scope weirdness or ........1. just because it originates in the form scope, it doesn't mean you have to copy it back to form scope to use variables.2. you would just do something like <input type="text" name="thisTest" <cfif isdefined("session.process.form.thisTest")>value="#session.process.form.thisTest#"</cfif>>taco, it's not that i am consciously storing form scope in the request, it's just that any session scope i copy into the request scope in my Application.cfm (using a CFLOCK) and then copy back to the session scope in OnRequestEnd.cfm (also using CFLOCK)... this is a CF5 best practice that i have maintained in CFMX. It just means that on any template in my application i can change any of the request.session scope variables without worrying about CFLOCK.steve--------Original Message-----

Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Form scope weirdness or ........Steve,I copy the stored form scope back to the FORM scope:1. because it was data in the form scope2. because I do not want to start writing things like <cfset form.thisTest = session.process.form.thisTest><input type="text" name="thisTest" value="#form.thisTest#">3. etc.I don't understand why you store the form scope in the request? its not persistent, unless you keep using server-side redirects.Anyone else care to comment on my issue, is nobody storing the form scope like I do?--------Original Message-----

Subject: [cfaussie] RE: Form scope weirdness or ........taco,not sure why you need to copy the session structure back to the form scope?i usually just do this on the action page:<CFIF NOT IsDefined("Request.Session.online.fieldnames")>
<CFSET Request.Session.></CFIF>
<cfset StructAppend(request.session.online,form)>and continue to use the request structure until the end of the process (insert/update a db or send an email etc.) when i clear it:<CFSET StructClear(request.session.online)>steve-----Original Message-----

Subject: [cfaussie] Form scope weirdness or ........---When I have a multi form process I usually store the form structure in the session, i.e.
session.process.form = duplicate(form);
or structAppend when it needs to append the form structure
at the end of the process I do
form = structNew();
form = duplicate(session.process.form); (copying the saved structure back tot he form scope)I find that sometimes it just does not work (when trying to show this code to someone else for example) its driving me nuts, either what I am doing just is no good and should have never worked for me either, or I am just missing the obvious today.
The problem I am having is that the FORM scope is empty when I dump it after trying to copy the stored structure back to the form scope.
anyone care to comment? Anyone else doing this?
Cheers,

Taco
