Here's a simple way to gather all your form fields back into a single
struct.
<cfset formdata = structnew() />
<cfset event.copyToScope(formdata, event.getValue('fieldnames')) />
If no form is submitted then fieldnames is not present (unless its been set
elsewhere) and you'll get back an empty struct, just like you would get an
empty form scope.
