Guys, its the pointer situation again!
I need you CF eyes.... a third party of mine has developed the following
code to copy session variables into the request scope. I believe that what
he is performing to be the copying of pointers and not actually 'copying'
the values to the request scope. Can you take a squizz and see what you
think? He is using CF4.5 so he has no StructAppend() or correct Duplicate()
function.
<cfcase value="session2request">
<cflock scope="SESSION" type="READONLY" timeout="15">
<cfloop collection="#session#" item="key">
<cfset request[key] = session[key]>
</cfloop>
</cflock>
</cfcase>
he is then referencing the code within a page as request.VARIABLE. I am
sure that these need to be locked since they are only pointers... what do
you think?
has anyone got a real world example of how to prove what I think is
happening? (since I know a lof you agree that it is a case of pointers!)
Many thanks
Neil
