dynamic variables

[SirGalaahad]

Hello,

i have some problems with dynamic variables. I have a form with the textareas named (for example) Link, Text, Cur_Date. After posting they are named Form.Link, Form.Text and Form.Cur_Date.
In my database i have the following columns:

Name | Value
-------------------
Link | 123
Text | abc
Cur_Date | today

So when I start the query the variable #Name# has the values Link, Text and Cur_Date. Now it comes:
In the <cfoutput> Tag i use the following <cfset> Tag:
<cfset myvariable = &quot;Form.#Name#&quot;>
With <cfset &quot;#myvariable#&quot; = &quot;some value&quot;> I can assign my form variables new values, but how can I read from my variables?

I need something like:

<cfoutput>
&quot;#myvariable#&quot;
</cfoutput>

should be equal to (for #Name# = &quot;Link&quot:

<cfoutput>
#Form.Link#
</cfoutput>

Thanks,
Rene Guenther

if you <cfset myvariable = &quot;Form.#Name#&quot;>
and then <cfoutput>#myvariable#</cfoutput>
what do you get ? don't you get Form.Link ???? yes ?
so it's fine, you've got its name, and to get its value, only #eval(&quot;#myvariable#&quot# or something

Hey Rene,

I think <cfoutput>#evaluate(&quot;Form.#Name#&quot#</cfoutput> will give you what you want.

Hope this helps,
