I’m using the validation CFC by Ryan J. Heldt http://validation.riaforge.org/

My form submits to processSignup.cfc

<cfscript>
objValidation = createObject("component","cfcs.validation").init();
objValidation.setFields(form);
objValidation.validate();
</cfscript>

<!--- clear the error/success message --->
<cfset msg="">

<cfif objValidation.getErrorCount() is not 0>
    <cfsavecontent variable="msg">
        <H2>Error in form submission</H2>
        <P>There were <cfoutput>#objValidation.getErrorCount()#</cfoutput> errors in your submission:</P>
        <ul>
        <cfloop collection="#variables.objValidation.getMessages()#" item="rr">
            <li><cfoutput>#variables.objValidation.getMessage(rr)#</cfoutput></li>
        </cfloop>
        </ul>
        <p>Please use the back button on your browser to correct your submission.</p>
    </cfsavecontent>
</cfif>

<cfdump var="#objvalidation#">


<cfoutput>
#msg#
</cfoutput>

Which gives me this output

enter image description here

What I’m trying figure out is the name of the structure and how to to get to “confirm password”, “password”, “username” but I’m being dense and I can’t figure out how to.

I’d think that since <cfdump var="#objvalidation#"> shows you the struct, you’d reference it via objValidation, no?

objValidation.messages should then show you the struct of the messages. Because “Confirm password” is a key with a space in it, you’ll need to use array notation to reference it.

So…

#objValidation.messages[ 'Confirm password' ]#
#objValidation.messages[ 'password' ]#
#objValidation.messages[ 'username' ]#

…should work. In theory 🙂

EDIT: disregard the info above. You’re dumping an actual object, not just a struct… so try:

<cfdump var="#objValidation.getMessages()#" />

Look at the code for the CFC and you’ll see a getMessage() method which returns a struct. So once you have that, you can get at the individual messages. Since you won’t necessarily know what keys exist in the struct (as I assume it will vary depending on the validation failures), I’d just loop over the struct returned from #objValidation.getMessages()# via a standard struct-based <cfloop>

EDIT AGAIN:

<cfloop collection="#objValidation.getMessages()#" item="error">
    #error#: #objValidation.getMessages[ error ]#<br />
</cfloop>
