Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / General CF Topics / April 2008

My hosting doesn't support PHP and most everything with Flash Remoting on the
web is in PHP. I only use Coldfusion because that's just what I know and I like

PHP to a simple cfm file.

I was recently directed to start using some "global logon" software with my
application on our company intranet. I don't know if it is developed in-house
or purchased.
When I talked to the person providing the software, he asked if I was running

I am using ColdFusion to allow a client to enter content into the database
which is then used for the display of information such as a story or song

Having had about six months of grief from the staff at Hostway, we are looking
to change hosts. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good CF hosts?
We're currently running on CFMX 7, but Im open to changing to CF 8 if we find a

I have form with two date fields.  The default for the date 1 is the current
date. Date 2 cannot be after date 1.  Does anyone know of a javascript that
would validate this on the client side.  I don't want them to be allowed to hit

Hello.  I am inputting variables into a db using cfquery and was wondering if
there's a way to check the length of the characters first before inserting it.  
If the variables character length is greater than the value that a longtext

hi.I have these 2 queries:
<cfquery name="qProducts" datasource="#session.eManager.datasource#">
    select * from tbl_product_vendor WHERE     (dbo.tbl_product_vendor.product_id
= '#url.ProductID#')

I have an XHTML (Transitional) page that includes absolute URLs to ColdFusion
pages. These URLs include characters, such as &, that the W3C won't validate
unless I change the characters to their ASCII equivalents. However, if I do
this, then the URL doesn't work.

I've got a site that i just moved from CF7 to CF8.  Some of our queries are no
longer working on 8 where they worked fine on 7.  The following query chokes
with  
Error Executing Database Query.

Does anyone have a fix for this bug? The below code displays perfectly in CF 7
and earlier versions. But in CF 8, the first chart series displays 6 elements

"#LSDateFormat(qRegisteredStudentsMonth.eventDate,'M/DD/YY')#" --line 29 won't
show up in the html. I KNOW that the data is there in the database.
Any help would be appreciated!!

I am not on here a whole lot, but when I do browse the forum I always see posts

according to the Tiobe Index that measures the popularity of all programming
languages, ColdFusion ranks number 20!  ...
