Question

Summary:

• the insert works.
• the cfc works

the problem is when i add the “_#i#” to the end of the field names!

Detail:

I have a variable amount of form fields that need to be inserted in to the db at the same time, different rows.

so I looped the form and incremented the name of the fields.

so I have title_1, title_2, title_3 etc…

next I wanted to insert them in the database (one submit button) by looping the insert by the amount of form fields.

I’m using ColdFusion Server Standard 8,0,1,195765

The Error:
Invalid CFML construct

I’ve tried all sorts – any suggestions would be much appreciated.

     <cfoutput>
        <cfloop from="1" to ="#VARIABLES.fieldTotal#" index="i">
        <cfset VARIABLES.insert = theObj.the_insert(
                the_id  = FORM.the_id_#i#
            ,   title   = FORM.title_#i#
            ,   author  = FORM.author_#i#
            ,   caption = FORM.caption_#i#
        )>
        </cfloop>
    </cfoutput>

Answer 1

form[ "the_id_#i#" ]

All ColdFusion scopes are structures and can be accessed this way.
