Request variable

Request variables store data about the processing of one page request. Request variables store data in a structure that can be passed to nested tags, such as custom tags, and processed once.

To provide information to nested tags, set a Request variable, as follows:

<CFSET Request.field_name1 = "value">
<CFSET Request.field_name2 = "value">
<CFSET Request.field_name3 = "value">
...

Each nested tag can access the variable with the cfoutput tag, as follows:

<CFOUTPUT>#Request.field_name1#</CFOUTPUT>
