sorry damian there is a cfelse also which would account for the declaration
I guess
the session.mailtype variable is used on a few more pages throughout the app
before emails finally get sent

The cfif/ else statement asks for two EQ values (Global and Targeted)
therefore the empty parameter you are declaring is unnecessary...
...also do you reckon those variables need to be session variables?-
worth looking at if you're delousing the app.

>>>>1. are you declaring the form parameter first (especially important
with
checkboxes and radio buttons, which don't get sent unless something is
selected). i'm guessing this will fix it. if not, proceed to 2.
- won't the fact that one of the radio buttons are selcted ensure that
that
form variable is defined on the action page?
- also there is: <cfparam name="MailType" default=""> on the action page
>>>>2. output the list of Form.fieldnames to see exactly what fields
have
been
passed in - is mailtype in this list? if not, check your spelling etc.
- This is working when I try it now and nothing has changed code
wise!!!???
>>>>3. The app has been working for many many months without error and
is
working now. This appears to be a one-off but I don't see how it has
happened (providing the above is correct)
There are lots of places in CF code where sesssion variables are not
being
locked. Could this be a potential contributor towards our server/CF
instabitlity problems? I may try doing a search on the whole site for
session variable and put some locks around them all. Much of this code
was
written before I joined the assignment

3. still kaput? change 'Global' to something else. it sounds like a
reserved word, and even though the way you're using it is completely
safe,
stranger things have been known to happen.
also, don't forget to lock your session variables, if you're not already
doing so.

Afternoon quiz

Please respond to

Right - I've had a problem call come through and it's stumped me a bit
- I have a page, say Page A, with a form on and all it has at two radio
buttons "called Mailtype" with the values "Global" and "Targetted" and a
submit button.
- The Global radio button is set to checked and so has black dot in
- Page A submits to Page B.
- Page B checks for the value of Form.MailType and sets session variable
accordingly:
<!--- Checks which type email has been chosen --->
<cfif Form.mailtype EQ "Global">
<cfset session.MailType = "global">
<cflocation url="email_message.cfm" addtoken="No">
<cfelseif Form.mailtype EQ "Targeted">
<cfset session.MailType = "targeted">
<cflocation url="email_sector_select.cfm" addtoken="No">
An error has been generated:
The following error message displayed when I tried to log in
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information An error occurred while evaluating the
expression: Form.mailtype EQ "Global" Error near line 37, column 20.
Error resolving parameter FORM.MAILTYPE The specified form field cannot
be found. This problem is very likely due to the fact that you have
misspelled the form field name. The error occurred while processing an
element with a general identifier of (CFIF), occupying document position
(37:1) to (37:32) in the template file
email_type_select.cfm.
Referrer:
choose_message_type.cfm
The referrer would suggest that the user certainly went from the form to
the action page, so I fail to understand how the form field can not be
defined?
This app has been working for a long time and no code changes have been
made. Any ideas?
