Give this a try if you have a moment.
Put this code in a file test.cfm. Note: no cfapplication tag.
cfoutputSession.test: #session.test#/cfoutput
cfif session.test EQ true
Session Variable evaluated true.
/cfif
Then call the page with this url:
Ian,
ColdFusion is evaluating the line cfif session.test EQ true and is looking
through all known scopes and is finding URL['session.text'], treating it as
a variable name, which is evaluating to true. Ben Nadel discussed this type
of non-assertive scope reference in a recent blog post
add this:
cfoutput#isSimpleValue(session.test)#/cfoutput -- YES
cfdump var=#session# -- error
which is weird because as of CFMX, creating a variable with a dot in
the name will implicitly create a struct (soo cfset foo.bar = 123
/ would create a struct named 'foo' with a key named 'bar' and
Does this work for anyone if the variable name is something other than session?
a href=test.cfm?test.foo=bartest.bar=fooid=2Test/a

I tried it, and dumped session: test is not there, you must have created
another struct named session, I tried dumping variables it is not there?

I don't think its a structure. Just a variable name with a . in it.
Nm. I see Charlie Griefer already explained that :)

Its not a structure, but you'll see it if you dump the url scope.

But this is unconsistent with the way CF really works:
Try CFSET test.test = 0
CFDUMP var=#test#
CFDUMP shows that test is a structure with a variable test, not a
variable test.test

That's not only the point, it is also an issue, since in theory,
variable cannot have dots in their names.
So CF is actually creating an

And this is what is inconsistent, since a variable cannot have a dot in
its name.

REUSE CODE! Use custom tags;

You will see that the exact same phenomenon occurs; when the struct already
exists, CF cannot implicitly create it and creates a variable with the name
provided.
It doesn't seem to matter whether a structure exists or not.

You can, of course, protect yourself from this:
cfif StructKeyExists(session, test) AND session.test EQ true
Session Variable evaluated true.
