RE: String manipulation
Martin wrote: ...so when in the loop how do I parse the current line.. eg..check the current line for certain characters, and if it passes the check I copy the string to a new entry in an array. Try this within the loop Steve suggested: cfif Find(idx, "some string") neq 0 cfset some_array[ArrayLen(some_array)+1][1] = idx /cfif That's assuming you want to capture the whole line. Also note that a structure might be an easier solution than an array unless you need the multi-dimensionality. If you use an array, don't forget to define it prior to the loop with ArrayNew(x) where x is the number of required dimensions. Valid numbers are 1-3.

Unlimited Line Item Subform functionality in a FORM
Hi all, Here's the scenario: A user is entering an order, the order will have some info associated with it, and then the order can have multiple line items added to it. Each line item will have a number of attributes (like product, quantity, etc.). In a program like Access, you can create a form for the Order, and then create a subform for the line items. You can easily set it up so that the user can enter as many line items as they like. After they enter a line item, the interface adds a new blank line item. We need to replace an Access application with a ColdFusion application and provide this same functionality. If we have to, we could provide input fields for a specific number of line items, and then provide a button to add more items, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any custom tags, applets or ActiveX controls that would provide this functionality. Or perhaps I'm missing an obvious easy solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Unlimited Line Item Subform functionality in a FORM
Bob, Sounds to me like your talking about an everyday shopping cart. I would use a associative array (structure) to store all the items names and values for each item and then append each of these structures to an array. At the end of the order, just loop through the array and output the structures (or line items) into the database. Make sure you have your line item table set up with a foreign key to the parent order table by using an order id. Then to pull an order just join the two tables by the order id. If none of this makes sense to you, just look at some tutorials on doing a shopping cart in Cold Fusion and they should give you the ideas you need.

RE: radio buttons and passing variable question
a side question, can anyone tell me what #form.variable name# is supposed to do?...i mean what does the # sign signify and what does "form" tell the computer? The # signs tell the CF server to interpret what's inside them as a variable name or function, and not just as a text string. The form specifies the category of variable. Some other category names are: variables (local page variables) URL (variables embedded in URL query string) session (session variables stored on server) #dollarformat(tax)#? This tells the server to interpret dollarformat(tax) as a function, not as a string. The argument to the function, "tax", is probably a local variable on the page. You can specify local page variables by typing "variables." first (e.g., variables.tax), but in the case of local page variables, you don't need the prefix. In any case, this function should return the value of the local page variable "tax" in dollar format, that is, to two decimal places, with a thousands separator, and a leading dollar sign.

RE: ColdFusion vs. ASP.NET
Just a comment: Personally, I wouldn't spend any of my professional time learning C#. I predict it will be just a few short years before Microsoft once again orphans it's own product and throws away C# for some other buzzword that has strategic and marketing value at the time. At 04:45 PM 12/12/00 -0500, Dave Watts wrote: I must confess that my original concern seems to be so adequately captured by Dave Watts' insight into how Microsoft operates. Yes the market for web application servers is competitive, and for someone (like myself) who keeps falling back on CF as a prefered development platform, reading Richard Anderson et al. 's A Preview of Active Server Pages+ (Wrox) left me a little concerned about whether or not CF developers will be left behind when ASP.NET becomes a reality. That's why I was wondering if anyone knew what future versions of CF had to offer in the face of ASP.NET's code/content separation, easier extensibility, and its integration with .NET web services. I haven't read that book, and I'm not fully familiar with the proposed feature set for ASP+ or its replacement ASP.NET, so I don't know how well I can answer this. However, I can tell you I've had this argument before. It was a couple of years ago, when ASP became available in beta. ASP was going to take over the world because it provided easy extensibility through COM, easy integration with other MS products (again through COM), and an easy way to separate presentation logic from business logic (yet again through COM - building components for business logic and gluing those components together with ASP). I remember hearing from the time how CF would soon be obsolete. At the time (the CF 2-3 product cycle, if I recall correctly), I was a bit worried, but not that much, and I stuck with CF, because it let me do my work more quickly. Now, of course, ASP is out, and it's been very successful. CF is still out and quite successful itself, though, demonstrating that even in the Windows world, there's room for more than one web application server platform. As for ASP.NET versus CF 5, I suspect that things will work out similarly to how they did with ASP 1-3 versus CF 2-4. ASP will be the platform of choice for Windows programmers who would otherwise do VB/C++/C# and COM programming (which is what you need to make use of that "easier extensibility"), and CF will be the platform of choice for web developers who want to minimize development and maintenance time without wedding themselves at the hip to the MS technology du jour. By the way, that remark about "vaporware" understates the extent of ASP.NET availability. A few web hosts are already offering hosting with that option installed, some of them for free. That's true. I just got Visual Studio.NET Beta 1 today from MSDN. Of course, any code that I wrote with it, I wouldn't be able to deploy for a client. From that perspective - the one that counts, in my opinion - .NET is not yet a real product.

Just a stray thought
Ok, this is meant as no shameless plug but I read on their website: UPS expects to receive 5 million tracking requests on their website per day especially on their peak days (it reads something like that) Your mission: build a Cold Fusion application for UPS that could handle such a beating, how would you do this? Bear in mind: 1) You will have to search through a database of approximately 245 million records (packages delivered) 2) 5 million per day equals 60 per second, transactional integrity has to be TIGHT! 3) Money is no real object (UPS needs this to work some how, but be realistic in terms of "what you get is what you pay for") Who's up for this?

RE: CFreport and crystal reports
Try taking a look at recrystallize.com. It's just a wizard that generate the html files to run the crystal report; you can probably fined your answers in those files. There's a beta version you can try for free. It uses a dll (u2fpdf.dll) which comes with the download. I haven't actually tried it, yet, since I'm still using CR7, and the feature I need (PDF download)only works with CR8, but I plan to if we upgrade. If you try it, let me know what you think.

RE: cftry cfcatch/cfcatch/cftry
structured exception handling should be kept as close to the questionable code as possible. One of it's error types is "missinginclude", which should also help to illustrate the logical error in placing opening and closing error handling tags in seperate files to be included. What you can do, is include a cferror tag in your application.cfm tag or at the top of any template containing CFTRY/CFCATCH/CFTHROW and wrap the rest of the page or the code in question, with the CFTRY tags. ~Simon Simon Horwith Certified ColdFusion Developer Fig Leaf Software 1400 16th St NW, # 220 Washington DC 20036 202.797.6570 (direct line) www.figleaf.com -Original Message- From: Neil H.

Another debate
The new boss has arrived in my department and of course he wants everyone to switch from the awesome and all mighty cold fusion to PHP. We do need some other strengths in our department for those clients who don't want us to host their application or don't have cf on their server, but, he wants a complete switch. Here is a glimpse into his last email: "It could be argued that both technologies have their strengths and weaknesses. However, in the corporate IT department, CF is usually not an option due to cost and security problems. I realize that changing perceptions and old habits are sometimes difficult, but necessary. Especially in our industry (high-tech). The need to deliberate the issue further is a mute point." Does anyone have any opinions on his security problems comment? It seems that alliare is pretty good about getting patches up - or we have just been lucky and not had any problems. And, would you agree that in the corporate IT department cf is "usually" not an option? Thanks in advance for any input. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Slightly OT....Javascript question
OK guys and girls...slightly ot question but it's bugging me! In part of a
Javasript function I am trying to loop through a collection of controls and
adding their value to a list which is then the value of a text box. Here is
the code:
var i = 1;
while(i = document.skills.slidercount.value)
{
document.skills.slidervalues.value =
document.skills.slidervalues.value + "," + document.{"Slider" + value of
i}.GetValue();
i = i + 1;
}
'Skills' is a form.
Slidercount.value = 34.
Slidervalues is a textbox
What I need to do is replace .{"Slider" + value of i} with Slider1, Slider2,
Slider3, etc. until Slider.34. Is there a way to dynamically create
this variable name?

I think the security probelsm lie more in Microsoft's IIS and the NT OS than the CF Server. Allaire always sends out alerts about security updates even if they are not for CF Servers, but something that relates to CF. PHP is a neat language, however it still isn't developed enough and also the learning curve is enough for your boss to be considered a complete and total moron. If he wants to make his whole company spend a few months learning PHP and converting all exsisting apps to PHP, tell him to go for it. Also, I dont think that the database connectivity is as powerful.

Subject: Unlimited Line Item Subform functionality in a FORM
Hi all,
Here's the scenario: A user is entering an order, the order will have some
info associated with it, and then the order can have multiple line items
added to it. Each line item will have a number of attributes
(like product,
quantity, etc.). In a program like Access, you can create a form for the
Order, and then create a subform for the line items. You can easily set it
up so that the user can enter as many line items as they like. After they
enter a line item, the interface adds a new blank line item.
We need to replace an Access application with a ColdFusion application and
provide this same functionality. If we have to, we could provide input
fields for a specific number of line items, and then provide a
button to add
more items, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any custom tags, applets
or ActiveX controls that would provide this functionality. Or perhaps I'm
missing an obvious easy solution.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

It seems that alliare is pretty good about getting patches up - or we have just been lucky and not had any problems. And, would you agree that in the corporate IT department cf is "usually" not an option? There are no significant security problems that are CF-specific, as long as you don't deploy the sample code on your servers. There are lots of security problems with CF applications, caused by the failure of developers to filter input from the browser. Those problems exist with PHP applications, and ASP applications, and any other kind of web applications. Most of the security problems that Allaire notifies people about are actually IIS security problems, as far as I can tell. As for CF's availability within corporate IT, I'd guess that it's much more accepted than PHP, at least "officially". Most IT directors are a bit leery of using open-source solutions. They like to have someone to call when things go wrong. PHP is nice, though, and kind of fun, but it's a bit more difficult than CF, and for most business applications doesn't offer anything that CF doesn't. As a bit of trivia, PHP used to be quite often referred to as the "poor man's Cold Fusion" back when it stood for "Personal Home Page". On an unrelated note, it's "moot point", not "mute point". Finally, I'm sorry to hear that this is what your new boss is like. It's always sad to see things like this - it would be just as bad if you were all using PHP and he came in and said "we're switching everything to CF". You might be able to reason with him, but in my experience there's usually nothing you can do with these types. Good luck, though.

RE: Another debate
Sound like your "new boss" hasn't ever used CF, or bothered to even research the validity of his claims. PHP is a good addition to your skillset, but throwing out all the CF experience and knowledge in your department and forcing everyone to start at square one with learning PHP is not a smart decision at all. I would say the same, by the way, about anyone who came into an all PHP department and said the same about instantly and unilaterally switching to CF for all projects. I really don't have the whole story, and don't know your situation, but depending on the rest of the big picture, I'd quietly start putting together a resume just in case you need it. I would consider what you describe as a bad omen and indicative of a dicator style of management. While you're at it, maybe your whole department should start speaking French rather than English...

RE: Another debate PHP v CF
Kelly, your boss wrote: switch from ... cold fusion to PHP. The need to deliberate the issue further is a mute point. Forget it, your boss said he doesn't want to debate it, he wants to switch from CF to PHP. Just switch. Look at all the new training classes you will get to attend learning new skills. It helps you become more marketable and worth more to the company and to outside companies looking to hire. The first person to jump on board is going to go to the most classes, get the best training, the newest books and the best computer. I am not saying be a suck-up, but if they want PHP, then do PHP. You have to look at this as a core value decision. If this is a core value issue that compromises your ethics, then quit. You can't stay at a company and violate your core values. For example core values would be you believe there is fraud; or the guy is taking kickbacks from vendors; or there is stock manipulation that is occurring. If this is happening you have to bail. But if it isn't a core value issue take it as a new opportunity to make yourself more marketable. Cover your ass, write a letter to your boss, and make it a nice one saying that you think switching from CF may cost the company a lot of money. But that if he believes switching to PHP is better for the company and will shorten delivery times of projects, then you support that decision. Keep it short and to just one page. Don't fight it, just do it and move on. Can you imagine a developer that knows PHP and CF. Pretty good credentials that makes it easier to demand more money.

Re: Another debate
Well, the two are really different critters. It could be said that PHP is more secure since it is open source, therefore flaws can, in theory, be discovered (and hopefully patched) quicker. As for other discussion along the lines of "CF is a better platform because it's easier to write in", it really depends on your style of programming. If you're most comfortable dealing with logical pseudo-extensions to an HTML-style programming system, of course CF is for you. It's tag-based to ease the transition between static HTML and dynamically-generated templates. PHP, OTOH, is very reminiscent of Perl, so if your department is strong in Perl you'll love PHP. The down side of PHP is its fairly non-existant error handling capabilities and lack of DB abstraction. You will have to be familiar with different function sets to use different DBs. If you're a non-programmer, it is a bit trickier to learn, since you'll have to work with creating file pointers and whatnot on occasion. And PHP doesn't include Verity or any other nifty toys, so you're on your own. On the plus side, PHP currently supports user-defined functions, which makes for very structured, elegant code. I haven't tried out PHP's session support, however, so I can't comment on that. Chances are, though, that CF has a better implementation, though, simply because CF has had session support longer. Also, what web server/OS are you running? That's also a big part of the picture, and arguably more important than the application server you're using.

RE: cflock vs. cftransaction
True, transactions are not supported in MySQL. A CFLOCK would not create a database transaction, and would not provide some of the benefits of transactions such as rollback, but in this case it would have a similar effect of making sure that no-one else was generating a new ID at the same time. You would have to use an application wide, named, exclusive lock for it.

RE: Another debate - absolute rubbish.
Most "security issue" in ColdFusion are problems with IIS not ColdFusion or problems in standard security. There have been a couple of exceptions (the Expression Evaluator and samples mostly), but most are not the fault of CF. If he is comparing PHP on Unix to CF on NT, it's not really a fair comparison, is it? As for cost. The cost of a few days extra time programming nearly covers the application. Why don't you ask him about these security issues??? What are they ? Is he talking about webserver or system security? Or CF ? And before I get into a flame war here, I do use PHP ,and Perl, C/C++, Java (JRun is great BTW )and CF others , NT and *nix. I prefer do prefer PHP for some stuff (can't wait for cfscript to get better ), and with Zope it's very fast but CF is cool too, and I've been using it since CF V1.5ish with success.

Use the eval function.

To the best of my knowledge, you can't ! I believe that feature will be available in CF 5, but you would stil need to run 2 queries. The new feature in CF 5 allows you to run queries on existing recordsets! As you probably know you can only specify one DATASOURCE pr. query, so accessing 2 from one query is not possible.

RE: Cookie timeouts
To quote the cookie definition, Expires = Optional. Schedules the expiration of a cookie variable. Can be specified as a date (as in 10/09/99), number of DAYS (as in 10, 100), now, or Never. Using NOW deletes the cookie. ie, store the date time in a cookie, compare it and time it out based on that, otherwise, you have a 1 day cookie. -Original Message- From: Gordon Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 12:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cookie timeouts I thought that this worked.

Translating some ASP to CF
I have this VB code chunk that creates 2 instances of a COM object, the
purpose of which is to encode a .wav file into a .asf file. Does anyone
know how to translate this into ColdFusion? I've been messing with it on
and off for 2 months, but I haven't gotten it to work yet.
'Create multiple instances of the encoder object
Dim Encoder1 As Object
Dim Encoder2 As Object
Set Encoder1 = CreateObject("ASF.RealTimeEncoder")
Set Encoder2 = CreateObject("ASF.RealTimeEncoder")
'Load previously created Windows Media stream descriptor file for Encoder1.
Encoder1.LoadASD("C:\SampleConfig1.asd")
'Load a different descriptor file for Encoder2.
Encoder2.LoadASD("C:\SampleConfig2.asd")
'Reset the input file name of the source to be encoded for Encoder1
Encoder1.InputSourceFile = "C:\sample.wav"
'Start encoding
Encoder1.Start
Encoder2.Start
'Check if Encoder1 has started encoding
If Encoder1.IsStarted Then
MsgBox("Encoder1 is encoding")
Else
MsgBox("Encoder1 is not encoding.")
End If
'Start Encoder1 recording the content previously set in the descriptor
'stream file assigned to it
Encoder1.RecordStart
'Change the output file name for Encoder2 after the encoder starts
'recording
Encoder2.RecordStop
Encoder2.RecordMaxSize = 5000
Encoder2.RecordFileName = "C:\MyNewOutputFileName.asf"
Encoder2.RecordStart
'Stop Encoder1 and Encoder2 recording to files
Encoder1.RecordStop
Encoder2.RecordStop
'Stop all encoding
Encoder1.Stop
Encoder2.Stop
'Release the encoder objects from memory

DOS vulnerability in ColdFusion servers
The solution {remove CFDOCS directory} presented for this "vulnerability"
is something I'd heard was an advisable thing to do for production servers
in the past.
So many of you may already know this but I thought it would be a good thing
to post.
I thought it might also be a good opportunity to review other CF security
"rules of thumb".
Then again this may be more appropriate in the CFServer list.
- Vulnerability in ColdFusion servers -
Oxygen3 24h-365d, by Panda Software
Los Angeles, 13 December 2000 -- The example pages of the ColdFusion
search engine could allow a hacker to launch a denial of service (DOS)
attack.
ColdFusion works as an extension to a web server in order to provide it
with more advanced programming capacities. Its use as a web application
server is widespread in professional environments to develop Internet or
Intranet solutions.
The vulnerability discovered in ColdFusion affects some scripts that
are optionally loaded by the administrator during configuration. If the
administrator decides to enter the search engine scripts, a malicious
user could use the these pages in order to launch an attack which would
cause the server to fail.
The search engine ships as a component used to index directories to be
searched. This process uses a great deal of CPU space and only happens
when the search script detects that the directories in question are not
indexed. Due to the vulnerability, a malicious user could execute these
scripts remotely from a web browser.
During the indexing process, CPU use reaches some 70%. The problem
becomes more serious because of the possibility that the attacker has
of multiple script executions, which can increase CPU use to 100%. This
total consumption of system resources causes the ColdFusion server to
fail and not respond to any more requests. In order to restore normal
service it is necessary to restart the server, although to solve the
problem completely it is recommendable to remove the directory "CFDOCS"
created during normal installation.
