Looping insert...To be continued

Question

Sorry, but the post was getting too long to follow so I
thought I would
start it over and ask for help piece by piece so I can learn
this:
I viewed the created html from Coldfusion and my list has
unique input names
from the looping list (List1, List2, etc) and the values are
unique due to
the recordset values of the listsid.
Ok, using cfdump var="#form#" I am getting nothing in the
output.
If I dump var = "#email#", I get the correct email addresse
twice.
I don't know how to dump the values of the lists because of
the fact that
they are incrementing dynamically based on the loop. I should
figure out
that to see if the numbers are correctly apprearing.
Here is my form:
<form action="" method="get" name="showMeMy">
<cfoutput>
cfset i = 0>
<cfloop query="optionList">
<cfset i = i+1>
<input name="list#i#" type="checkbox" id="list#i#"
value="#optionList.listid#">
#optionList.listName#
</cfloop>
input name="email" type="hidden" id="email"
value="#URL.email#" />
input name="Update" type="submit" id="Update" value="Update
Subscription
List">
</cfoutput>
</form>

Answer 1

Ok, i am beginning to see. I am looking at the cfloop list in
the docs.
So I need to replace the 'form.fieldname' with the actual
field 'list'?
How can I replace that with the name of 'list' since it is
incrementing
from the form?
Do I need to rename my fieldname in the form from list#i# to
something
static?
NO, you just need to put all the pieces together.
Look at the <cfdump var="#form#"> you posted earlier.
struct
EMAIL [email protected]
FIELDNAMES LIST1,LIST2,EMAIL,UPDATE
LIST1 9999
LIST2 1
UPDATE Update Subscription List
See the third line, there is a "field" named "FIELDNAMES" and
it
contains a list of all the fields that where submitted by the
form page.
<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="field">
This is going to loop over the list in the form.fieldnames
key
[LIST1,LIST2,EMAIL,UPDATE] and put each list value into the
variable
"field".
<cfif left(field,4) EQ "LIST">
This checks the value of the variable "field" in each loop to
see if it
starts with the string "LIST" thus this is one of the list
check box fields.
VALUES ('#form.email#', #form[field]#)
This inserts the values of form.email and the list field into
the
database. In each loop itteration #form[field] is going to
resolve to
form[LIST1] and form[LIST2] which in turn will resolve to the
following SQL
VALUES ('#form.email#', #form[field]#
VALUES ('[email protected]', 1)
VALUES ('[email protected]', 9999)
