- <H3>CFOUTPUT Example</H3>
-
- <P>CFOUTPUT simply tells the Cold Fusion Application Server
- to begin processing, and then to hand back control
- of page rendering to the web server.
-
- <P>For example, to show today's date, you could write
- #DateFormat(Now()). If you enclosed that expression
- in CFOUTPUT, the result would be <CFOUTPUT>#DateFormat(Now())#</CFOUTPUT>.
-
- <P>In addition, CFOUTPUT may be used to show the results of
- a query operation, or only a partial result, as shown:
-
- <P>There are <CFOUTPUT>#getCourses.recordCount#</CFOUTPUT> total records in our
- query. Using the MAXROWS parameter, we are limiting our
- display to 4 rows.
- <P>
- <CFOUTPUT query="GetCourses" MAXROWS=4>
- <PRE>#Dept_ID# #CorName# #CorLevel#</PRE>
- </CFOUTPUT>
-
- <P>CFOUTPUT can also show the results of a more complex expression,
- such as getting the day of the week from today's date. We first
- extract the integer representing the Day of the Week from
- the server function Now() and then apply the result to
- the DayofWeekAsString function:
-
- <BR>Today is #DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#
- <BR>Today is <CFOUTPUT>#DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#</CFOUTPUT>
