Re: Dynamic variable Name in cfif
I'm having no trouble setting and outputting a dynamic variable name: cfoutputExpires_#UpdateMe#= #form[ 'Expires_' UpdateMe]#/cfoutput but when I go to evaluate that variable: cfif form[ 'Expires_' UpdateMe ] EQ Yes it returns: Variable YES is undefined because the VALUE of the Variable named Expires7 is indeed YES. Without quotes around Yes, CF sees it as a variable name, not a literal string.

Re: Dynamic variable Name in cfif
Also, shouldn't it be cfif form[ 'Expires_' UpdateMe ] is 'Yes' ??? or is it the current trend to use EQ when checking a text field nowadays? :) On Fri, Jul 18, 2014 at 6:22 AM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: I'm having no trouble setting and outputting a dynamic variable name: cfoutputExpires_#UpdateMe#= #form[ 'Expires_' UpdateMe]#/cfoutput but when I go to evaluate that variable: cfif form[ 'Expires_' UpdateMe ] EQ Yes it returns: Variable YES is undefined because the VALUE of the Variable named Expires7 is indeed YES.

It's purely a matter of personal preference.
