CFMAIL

[danarashad]

is it possible to have and if statement inside of a <CFmail tag.
example
<cfmail to=dana@something.com from=dana1@something.com <cfif variable is "test">CC=dana3@something.com</cfif>
>
blah blah
</cfmail>
when i run it i get an error invalid token c and it points to the 'c' from the CC!

in general no. You can't have a cf tag within the content of another cf tag. If it was within the quotes of the tag then that should be ok, but not where you have put it. not sure as i try to stear away from them, but an Iif might work, but you'd be better off putting an if around the lot to be honest

Hope this helps!

You can do something like this:

<cfif variable is "test">
  <cfset CCEmail = "dana3@something.com">
<cfelse>
  <cfset CCEmail = ""> 
</cfif> 

<cfmail to="dana@something.com" from="dana1@something.com" cc="#CCEmail#">
  blah blah
</cfmail>

Deadlywiper - just out of curiosity - why don't you like the IIF? Is it a performance issue with using it?

Thanks

mainly down to this article:

but also because i just hate the syntax. I try to avoid using evaluate as well if i can, but there are times when there is just no way of getting around using them!

nice article. you looking for a job?

IIF isn't bad if you need to use IF as a function. I don't use it to much, but it's gotten me out of a pinch or two.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
