Dynamic form input name

Question

Hi,
My brain is frozen or something because I couldn't think out this issue.  Basically my form input radio name and value are dynamically pulled from a database.  The name of the form is concat with a name and id is from a database.  On the form processing side, how would I get all the dynamic input radio name.  The value of the input will be attach to the name.  Hope that make sense. 
form.cfm
<cfquery name="get_form_name" datasource="#ds#">
     SELECT id, name
     FROM records
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>
<form action="form_process.cfm">
<cfloop query="get_form_name">
<p>name: <input type="radio" name="test_#get_form_name.id#" value="#get_form_name.name#" /></p>
</cfloop>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</cfoutput>
form_process.cfm
somehow get all the input name from the FORM to set cfparam and value.  Once I have this, i have the form values that are passing over.

Your requirement is that you want the application to remember the name of a query variable across multiple page requests. That is a typical case where you would use the session scope.
Following your example,
form.cfm
<cfquery name="get_form_name" datasource="#ds#">
     SELECT id, name
     FROM records
</cfquery>
<cfset session.formRecords = structNew()>
<form action="form_process.cfm" method="post">
<cfoutput query="get_form_name">
<p>name: <input type="radio" name="test_#id#" value="#name#" /></p>
<cfset session.formRecords["test_#id#"] = name>
</cfoutput>
<input type="submit" name="sbmt" value="submit">
</form>
form_process.cfm
<!--- The names and values of the form fields are stored, respectively, as key-value pairs in the structure session.formRecords--->
<cfdump var="#session.formRecords#">
Remarks
1) I simplified the code somewhat. I also added post method to the form, as I assume that is what you are aiming for. Otherwise the form fields will be submitted via the URL.
2) It seems to me the database table holds rows having distinct values of ID . Therefore, my guess is that the functionality you should be going for is <input type="checkbox"> instead of <input type="radio">.
