Coldfusion: Dynamically creating cookie from current directory

  • In my Coldfusion application, I am automatically creating a directory for each new user account under a unfied folder. So each new user's folder is based on the username they choose. For example, if i sign up w/username "jdoe", my application automatically creates the directory /www/users/jdoe/. What I need to do is determine the name of the directory dynamically and then create a cookie based on the name of the current directory. For example, when a web browser navigates to www.mysite.com/users/jdoe/, I want the index.cfm page of that "jdoe" directory to inherit what the current directory/url is, then populate the variables of the page with that directory/username.


  • Hi, I'm presuming you already have the directory creation part done; if not should handle this for you. You can determine the current directory by using the CGI.PATH_INFO or CGI.PATH_TRANSLATED variables. It's not clear to me why you want to set a cookie explicitly (rather than using the automatic session tracking) but there is no reason why you can't then stuff this info into a cookie using in the normal way. Check out the docs on Macromedia if you need more syntax info, etc.: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/Expressions5.htm The CF forums on Macromedia.com are also very useful for this sort of stuff. Otherwise clarify if I haven't understood what you are trying to do.
