Variable Manipulation Tags

namedescription
cfcookieDefines web browser cookie variables, including expiration and security options.
cfdumpUse the cfdump tag to get the elements, variables, and values of most kinds of ColdFusion objects. Useful for debugging. You can display the contents of simple and complex variables, objects, components, user-defined functions, and other elements. The cfdump now shows component properties defined by cfproperty when you dump a CFC. A new key called PROPERTIES has been added in the component dump, which is expanded, by default. The text format of cfdump also provides this information.
cfparamTests for the existence of a parameter (that is, a variable), validates its data, and, if a default value is not assigned, optionally provides one.
cfregistryThis tag is deprecated for the UNIX platform.
cfsavecontentSaves the generated content of the cfsavecontent tag, including the results of evaluating expressions and executing custom tags, in the specified variable.
cfscheduleProvides a programmatic interface to the ColdFusion scheduling engine. Can run a CFML page at scheduled intervals, with the option to write the page output to a static HTML page. This feature enables you to schedule pages that publish data, such as reports, without waiting while a database transaction is performed to populate the page.
cfsetSets a value in ColdFusion. Used to create a variable, if it does not exist, and assign it a value. Also used to call functions.
cfsettingControls aspects of page processing, such as the output of HTML code in pages.
cftraceDisplays and logs debugging data about the state of an application at the time the cftrace tag executes. Tracks run-time logic flow, variable values, and execution time. Displays output at the end of the request or in the debugging section at the end of the request; or, in Dreamweaver MX and later, in the Server Debug tab of the Results window.
