Parse brackets in the URL string
Posted on 2011-02-28
Hi,
I was trying to figure out how to parse brackets in the URL string. I have a javascript program that serializes my data and passes the following URL string to my coldfusion page
http://hsecfs1/developmentdmz/mctr/sortAjax.cfm?item[]=1&item[]=2&item[]=3
Unfortunatley, I can't figure out how to pull the data.
<cfoutput>#url.item[]#</cf

can you leave the brackets away, i think it wont work with brackets. Without you will get a comma separated list. Then you can loop over the list to get the values....
?item=1&item=2&item=3
then
<cfoutput>#url.item#</cfou
<cfloop list="#url.item#" index="i">
<!--- Do something with i --->
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
<cfloop>
?item=1&item=2&item=3
then
<cfoutput>#url.item#</cfou
<cfloop list="#url.item#" index="i">
<!--- Do something with i --->
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
<cfloop>
Sorry the cfloop was not closed correct:
<cfoutput>#url.item#</cfou
<cfloop list="#url.item#" index="i">
<!--- Do something with i --->
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>#url.item#</cfou
<cfloop list="#url.item#" index="i">
<!--- Do something with i --->
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

wow, that's unique.
How about <cfset theValue = url["item[]"]>
You could also dump the url to see what's in there
<cfdump var="#url#">
The result, if you can read it, is a comma delimited list of values in one variable: 1,2,3 because the same name is used in each.

Awesome, <cfset theValue = url["item[]"]> seems to work.
It gives me the values in a comma separated list.
