Question

I am trying to cfinclude a file and also pass some values to that specific file. I don’t know if it is possible so any reply is appreciated.

This is my code:

<cfoutput>

    <cfset path = "?id=#email_id#&contactid=#email_contactid#&ownerid=#email_ownerid#">

    <cfinclude template="/email_results#path#">

</cfoutput>

My mapping goes something like this:

E:\sites\exampleCom\cf_modules\reports\resultsTemplate.cfm

I did a #expandPath(“/email_results#path#”)# and it is giving me the correct output

(E:\sites\exampleCom\cf_modules\reports\resultsTemplate.cfm?id=123&contactid=123&ownerid=123)

but when I am trying to include the file it bugs out. Can I pass in variables through the cfinclude? Is this what it bugs out my code?

Answer 1

No, you do not pass variables to an include page. The include will be execute in the same context, so it can directly see the email_id and other variables.
