Array Structure & Session

I'm trying to develop some session iteration for signup process. When i set the session array of some index, it make other array structure reset.

i'm posting some code here, please take a look if you guys can help me out to overcome the problem.

<CFLOCK NAME="Session" TIMEOUT="60" TYPE="Exclusive" throwontimeout="Yes">

<cfif arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo) LT fldStateRole>
<cfoutput>Entered : #arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo)# : #fldLastPage#<br></cfoutput>

<cfset mylocalStruct = arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo)+1>

<CFSET Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct] = StructNew()>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].FirstName = FirstName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].LastName = LastName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].FBEmail = FBEmail>

<!---- <cfset ArrayAppend(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo, lStateInfo)> --->
<cfelse>
<cfif fldLastPage EQ 2>
<cfoutput>Else Loop 2: #fldLastPage# : #CompanyName# : #Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[fldLastPage].CompanyName# <br></cfoutput>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[2].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[2].FirstName = FirstName>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>Else Loop 1: #fldLastPage# : #CompanyName# : #fldLastPage# : #Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[fldLastPage].CompanyName# : Anjan <br></cfoutput>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[1].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[1].FirstName = FirstName>
</cfif>
</cfif>

</CFLOCK>

This block is getting again and again when form post action takes place. Idea is to create the session array & structure to fill data in same form untill users press complete.

As i mentioned earlier, when i set value of index 2 structure, it reset all the value in index 1 array.

Thanks and advance.

What is this line doing?

<cfif arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo) LT fldStateRole>


It's not clear from the code and your explanation what you are trying to do. Can you create a simple example that demonstrates the problem? Or add some comments that explain exactly what the different pieces of this code are intended to do?

sorry! currently I'm not able to post the sample page as i'm away from my development environment. Let me explain, what exectly I'm doing and looking for:

1) User come to registeration page, I create Array using
<cfparam name="Session.AppraiserSignupInfo" type="array" default="#arrayNew(1)#")>

2) if it is first time i add structure to array using following code
<cfset mylocalStruct = arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo)+1>

<CFSET Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct] = StructNew()>

It will alwasy add 1 as i calculate arrayLen(..)

3) I asked user to enter first name & company name. If he want to add another company name and first name he push 1 submit button which will post the page to same page.

4) this time, i used following code

<cfif fldLastPage EQ 2>
<cfoutput>Else Loop 2: #fldLastPage# : #CompanyName# : #Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[fldLastPage].CompanyName# <br></cfoutput>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[2].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[2].FirstName = FirstName>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>Else Loop 1: #fldLastPage# : #CompanyName# : #fldLastPage# : #Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[fldLastPage].CompanyName# : Anjan <br></cfoutput>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[1].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[1].FirstName = FirstName>
</cfif>
</cfif>

5) when i come to this submitted page, i check that do i have structure to support new company name and first name ? If it is not then i call following code:

<cfif arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo) LT fldStateRole>
<cfoutput>Entered : #arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo)# : #fldLastPage#<br></cfoutput>

<cfset mylocalStruct = arrayLen(Session.AppraiserSignupInfo)+1>

<CFSET Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct] = StructNew()>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].CompanyName = CompanyName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].FirstName = FirstName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].LastName = LastName>
<cfset Session.AppraiserSignupInfo[mylocalStruct].FBEmail = FBEmail>


6) Now when i submit the page for first array index ( [1] ), it wipe out array'[2]'s value.

7) when i submit the page for second array index ([2], it wipe out array[1]'s value.

I hope this will help you to identiry the problem.

thanks for your help in advance.
