Max,
You are correct. The problem is that you can not use "-" as a variable
name. BTW, I'm getting these variables sent to me by a credit card company
and they don't want to change the values.
This is what I have so far:
<cfset temp = CGI.QUERY_STRING>
<cfset temp = Replace(temp, "card-", "card_", "All")>
<cfoutput>#temp#</cfoutput>
I get this string:
mode=new&orderID=909987767&item1=2&user_id=116&card_address1=add1&card_address2=add2&card_city=city&card_state=state&card_zip=93950&country=usa&phone=831-643-2989&fax=831-643-2989
Now, how do I extract card_address2=add2, card_city=city
card_state=state and card_zip from this string? If I can do that then all I
have to do is set the values with an underscore and pass that value.
If someone can help me with this it would be a great help.
Thanks,
CM
