I have these form values I’m trying capture in a session: prop_zip prop_st address

  • 0

I have these form values I’m trying capture in a session:

prop_zip
prop_st
address
city
fname
lname
email
pri_phone_1
pri_phone_2
pri_phone_3

Here is my session code:

<cfapplication name="qsErrorVals" clientmanagement="yes" sessionmanagement="yes" sessiontimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,0,360,0)#">
<cflock timeout="120" name="#session.sessionID#" type="exclusive">
    <cfset session.prop_st="#prop_st#">
    <cfset session.prop_zip="#prop_zip#">
    <cfset session.address="#address#">
    <cfset session.fname="#fname#">
    <cfset session.lname="#lname#">
    <cfset session.email="#email#">
    <cfset session.pri_phone_1="#pri_phone_1#">
    <cfset session.pri_phone_2="#pri_phone_2#">
    <cfset session.pri_phone_3="#pri_phone_3#">  
</cflock>

So far, I can only save two of the variables from the form:

prop_zip
prop_st

The rest I’m having trouble with saving the form values to the session. I’ve defined the variables I want to store in the session before creating the session and I’ve tried using this code:

<cfset session.email="#form.email#">
etc...

Still I can only save the two variables I mentioned. What am I doing wrong?

    It’s difficult to answer specifically without looking at all of your code but hopefully this example will help.

    • The cfapplication tag should go in an Application.cfm or Application.cfc file.
    • The session code should most likely be placed in another file.
    • I’d recommend specifying a scope attribute of session in the cflock tag.

    Application.cfm file:

    <cfapplication name="qsErrorVals" clientmanagement="yes" sessionmanagement="yes" sessiontimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,0,360,0)#">

    ErrorVals.cfm or whatever you want to call the file:

    <cfparam name="form.prop_st" default="NY" > <!--- I've added default data for testing --->
<cfparam name="form.prop_zip" default="12345" >
<cfparam name="form.address" default="1st Main St." >
<cfparam name="form.fname" default="John" >
<cfparam name="form.lname" default="Doe" >
<cfparam name="form.email" default="me@domain.com" >
<cfparam name="form.pri_phone_1" default="123-123-1234" >
<cfparam name="form.pri_phone_2" default="123-123-1234" >
<cfparam name="form.pri_phone_3" default="123-123-1234" >
<cfscript>
    prop_st = trim(form.prop_st); // validate, trim, etc.
    prop_zip = trim(form.prop_zip);
    address = trim(form.address );
    fname = trim(form.fname );
    lname = trim(form.lname );
    email = trim(form.email);
    pri_phone_1 = trim(form.pri_phone_1);
    pri_phone_2 = trim(form.pri_phone_2);
    pri_phone_3 = trim(form.pri_phone_3);
</cfscript>

<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout="10" >
    <cfset session.prop_st = prop_st>
    <cfset session.prop_zip = prop_zip>
    <cfset session.address= address>
    <cfset session.fname= fname>
    <cfset session.lname= lname>
    <cfset session.email= email>
    <cfset session.pri_phone_1= pri_phone_1>
    <cfset session.pri_phone_2= pri_phone_2>
    <cfset session.pri_phone_3= pri_phone_3>  
</cflock>
