ColdFusion Arrays

Post icon  Posted 14 October 2008 - 09:10 AM

This is supposed to display in a table what am I doing wrong? When I test it in my browser it just displays the following:

"Product Price" "#products[i]#"
"#dollorformat(prices[i])#"
"#prices[11]#"


<html>
<head>
<title>Array Assignment</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfset products = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Eggs")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Cheese")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Milk")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Bread")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Bananas")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Crackers")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Cereal")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Strawbaries")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Yogurt")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(products,"Chocolate Cake")>
<cfset prices = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$3.29")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$4.50")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$2.59")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$1.95")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$1.09")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$1.20")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$3.95")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$1.89")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$2.29")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"$3.79")>
<cfset ArrayAppend(prices,"The total cost is $26.54")>
<cfoutput>"Product Price"</cfoutput>
<table>
<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(products)#" index="i">
<tr>
<td>
<cfoutput>"#products[i]#"</cfoutput></td>
<td>
<cfoutput>"#dollorformat(prices[i])#"</cfoutput></td>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
<cfoutput>"#prices[11]#"</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>

The only way I can see that happening is if your webserver is not configured properly to execute coldFusion code. What do you see if you create a separate page and run this simple code?

<cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>


Quote

"#dollorformat(prices[i])#"


That said, the function name is mispelled. It is dollarformat

When I run that code I get #now()# in the browser.

I also changed the dollor to dollar. Same results.

It is displaying the CF code instead of executing it. That usually means your webserver is not properly configured.

I don't know much about webservers, but I do know it must be configured it so it knows to execute CF code, not just display it. If you're using the built-in webserver that comes with ColdFusion you might just try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Thanks--I'll give it a try.
