Loop Over Nested Structure

Question

Hello,
Can someone please demonstrate how I would use a cfLoop to
loop over and output the contents of this fictious nested
structure?
Thank You!

A slightly simpler version using the structure form of the
<cfloop...>
tag. It also demonstrates both array notation, that you used,
as well
as dot notation. Finally it puts a single <cfoutput...>
block around
the entire loop. This can provide a small but accumulative
performance
improvement.
<cfoutput>
<cfloop collection="#student#" item="aStudent">
<tr>
<td>#aStudent["firstName"]# OR
#aStudent.firstName#</td>
<td>#aStudent["lastName"]# OR
#aStudent.lastName#</td>
<td>#aStudent["phone"]# OR #aStudent.phone#</td>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
