assigning something to a cfif outcome
Hi,

I was just wondering if osmeone can point me in the right direction in coldfusion/sql can you have something to equal the outcome of a if statement.

E.G
Code:

iL.languageID =

<cfif (translator eq 1) AND (Currentsite IS NOT NULL) AND (bOnPage eq 0)>
filterLanguage
<cfelse>
s.defaultLanguage
</cfif>


Thanks for your help

Andy

try

<cfif a = b>
<cfset myvar = 1>
<cfelse>
<cfset myvar = 2>
</cfif>

then use myvar anywhere in the code

IIf function
In addition to CfFreelancer's code, you can also say:

Code:
<cfset il.LanguageID =
       Iif((Translator IS 1) AND (CurrentSite IS NOT NULL) AND (bOnPage IS 0),
           DE(filterLanguage),
           DE(s.defaultLanguage))>
This has the advantage of being somewhat faster, though the code is less immediately understandable.

Actually, iif() is significantly slower than <cfif>. When you combine that with the unreadability, I recommend against using it.

Thanks kiteless - I just always assumed a function would be faster. Live and learn, as they say!
