Complex variables cannot be converted to simple ones error.

Post icon  Posted 02 April 2009 - 07:30 AM

I am trying to use a CFC to pull stuff from the database. It has a bunch of functions in it. I just used the CFC so as to keep all the similar code in one aread. So the problem is that the URL variable that is almost one of the first things in each function causes an error. When I try to put it into the <a> tag it says that it is a complex variable. I am not sure if maybe I am doing it wrong or what. When I put the variable directly into the <a> tag rather than doing a <cfset> it runs fine. When I do a dump of the variable it always returns empty.

It is probably that URL is a reserved word (ie system structure like FORM). Try using another variable name instead.

Yeah that was it. It was trying to use the URL variables... which are complex...
