cfset Example

cfset sets and reassigns values to local or global variables within a page.

For example, the variable NumRecords has been declared on this page to hold the number of records returned from query (#NumRecords#).

In addition, cfset can be used to pass variables from other pages, such as this example, which takes the url parameter Test from this link: ( ">click here) to display a message:

#url.test#

The variable url.test has not been passed from another page.

cfset can also be used to collect environmental variables, such as the time, the IP address of the user, or another function or expression.

• The date: #the_date#
• User IP Address: #user_ip#
• Complex Expression ((23 MOD 12) * 3): #complex_expr#
• String Manipulation (the first 35 characters of the body of the first message in our query)
  Reversed: #str_example#
  Normal: #Reverse(str_example)#
