    WriteOutput(string)

Parameters

Parameter | Description
string | A string or a variable that contains one

Usage
Within the cfquery and cfmail tags, this function does not output to the current page; it writes to the current SQL statement or mail text. Do not use WriteOutput within cfquery and cfmail.
Although you can call this function anywhere within a page, it is most useful inside a cfscript block.

Example

    ...
    <cfscript>
      employee = StructNew();
      StructInsert(employee, "firstname", FORM.firstname);
      StructInsert(employee, "lastname", FORM.lastname);
      StructInsert(employee, "email", FORM.email);
      StructInsert(employee, "phone", FORM.phone);
      StructInsert(employee, "department", FORM.department);
      WriteOutput("About to add " & FORM.firstname & " " & FORM.lastname);
    </cfscript>
