IsDefined
Description
Evaluates a string value to determine whether the variable named in it exists.
This function is an alternative to the
ParameterExists
function, which is deprecated.
Returns
True, if the variable is found, or, for a structure, if the specified key is defined; False, otherwise.
Returns False for an array or structure element referenced using bracket notation. For example,
IsDefined("myArray[3]")
always returns False, even if the array element
myArray[3]
has a
value.

History
ColdFusion MX: Changed behavior: this function can process only the following constructs:
•
a simple variable
•
a named variable with dot notation
•
a named structure with dot notation (for example:
mystruct.key
)
Parameters
Usage
When working with scopes that ColdFusion exposes as structures, the
StructKeyExists
function can sometimes replace this
function. The following lines are equivalent:
if(isDefined("form.myVariable"))
if(structKeyExists(form,"myVariable"))
Example
<cfif IsDefined("form.myString")>
<p>The variable form.myString has been defined, so show its contents.
This construction allows us to place a form and its resulting action code
on the same page and use IsDefined to control the flow of execution.</p>
<p>The value of "form.myString" is <b><i>
<cfoutput>#form.myString#</cfoutput></i></b>
<cfelse>
<p>During the first time through this template, the variable "form.myString"
has not yet been defined, so we do not try to evaluate it.
</cfif>
<form action="#CGI.Script_Name" method="POST">
<input type="Text" name="MyString" value="My sample value">
Parameter
Description
variable_name
String, enclosed in quotation marks. Name of variable to test for.
