Title: Looping over a form

 <cfloop index="item" list="#form.fieldnames#" delimiters=",">

    <cfoutput>

            <cfset myFormField = "form." & item>

            form.#item#  = #evaluate(myFormField)#

    </cfoutput>

</cfloop>

 

Starting in either CF5 or CF4.5 the form scope became a structure so you could loop using the collection version of cfloop instead of the list version.

 

By the way

You can do this with a query too. Substitute myQueryNam.columnList for form.fieldnames and loop through the columns of a table without haveing to know what the column names are.

Subject: [CFTALKTor] Looping over a form

I have an action page on which I'd like to loop through a passed form and get the names and values of each form element. I don't know how many form elements there may be or what their names are but I do know the name of the form. I can do this in Javascript (I believe) but is it possible in ColdFusion?
