loop through post variables?

  • July 10, 2008

I'm trying to make my own viewstate setup (I'm a .NET guy trying to work on a CF site for a client). Is there a way I can cycle through all the available post variables when a form is submitted? I want to capture these and put them into a struct which will then be saved to the session, from which I can grab or modify fields as I need.

I know I can grab them individually, such as FORM.myinputfield, but how can I blindly cycle through them and put them into a struct? Thanks!

    Here is how to take the FROM structure and put it into a SESSION
    structure for persistent across request. It should be easy to follow
    through.

    <cfset session.myFormData = form>

    The form data is already a structure and can be handled exactly like any
    structure you create.

    An Examples:

    <cfloop collection="#form#" item="field">
    #field# contains the value of #form[field]#
    </cfloop>

    Your answer is correct. I posted my followup before I noticed your post. Thanks.
