[thelist] CF: Moving a struct to a session.var

[Frank]

Help! I'm stuck. I'm playing around with structs. The user has completed a
form with some basic information. I want to set it to a struct in the
session scope that I can move from page to page without losing the data.

The code below (formatted this way just to deal with wrapping) is an
example of what I'm using. I keep getting the "can't resolve parameter"
error. All my other session variables carry through.

(Tangent: How *does* one output in a cfscript?)

Many thanks.

<!--- User has submitted details, set to session.struct --->

<cflock timeout="10"
         throwontimeout="No"
         type="Exclusive"
         scope="Session">

    <cfscript>

       <cfoutput>

          ContactDetails=StructNew();

          StructInsert(ContactDetails
                       ,"EmailAddress"
                       ,"#Form.EmailAddress#");

          StructInsert(ContactDetails
                       ,"FirstName"
                       ,"#Form.FirstName#");

          StructInsert(ContactDetails
                       ,"LastName"
                       ,"#Form.LastName#");

          // Copy this struct to a session variable
          Session.ContactDetails=StructNew();

          Session.ContactDetails=StructCopy(ContactDetails);

       </cfoutput>

    </cfscript>

</cflock>

This will then be prettied up, to confirm to the user that this is what
they've entered, then later used in an email, then inserted into the db

--->


<cflock type="readonly"
         scope="session"
         timeout="10"
         throwontimeout="no">

    <cfloop collection="#Session.ContactDetails#" item="key">

       <cfoutput>
         Session.ContactDetails['#key#']:
         #Session.ContactDetails[key]#
       </cfoutput><br>

    </cfloop>
</cflock>
