front name of cfid

#cfid#

</cfoutput>

The code above outputs cfid. it works fine.

I like to know the front name of cfid.

The following two codes cause errors. but it will show what I want.

code1

<cfoutput>
#variables.cfid#
</cfoutput>


code2

<cfoutput>
#session.cfid#
</cfoutput>

If cfid is not variables or session, what is it?

[r937]

the "front part" is called scope

i'm pretty sure that cfid is in session scope

Thank you for the term "scope."

i'm pretty sure that cfid is in session scope

application.cfm


<cfapplication  
    name='myApplication' 
    sessionmanagement='yes'
    sessiontimeout='#createTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)#'
    applicationtimeout='#createTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)#'>


index.cfm

<cfoutput>
#session.cfid#<br>
</cfoutput>

If cfid is in session scope, why does the code above produce the error below.

result

Element CFID is undefined in SESSION.

do a <cfdump var="#session#"> and see what's in the scope.
