Hi folks

I have a html page that has a series of links such as.
<a href="email.cfm?email=rob">
<a href="email.cfm?email=kim">

the email.cfm form then has a email contact form that sends the email to rob or
Kim using a series of if statements such as:
<cfif email is "rob"><cfset emailsender="rob@...">

The process has worked well for several years, recently the email.cfm form is no
longer reading the "email" variable and the email is being sent to a default.

I have reloaded the pages cleaned out the cache etc. but can't get it to work.  I
know the hosting company has done recent upgrades and I am wondering if the
GET format has changed.

Thanks for any help

Rob

Maybe try specifically scoping the variable:

e.g. <cfif URL.email IS "rob"> (with 'URL.' added).

Hi Rob

Thanks.  Your suggestion actually prompted me to wonder and dig a bit further
and realize that several months before I had changed the form but not noticed
an unforseen outcome.

The joys of programming.
