loop through post variables?

Report · Jul 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>

OK, I spoke too soon. I was able to get it to cycle through the loop. Now I'm trying to find out how to save that to a struct and then to a session variable. Do I have to use WDDX? Thanks again.
