cfdump in cfmail

[minli98]

Hi,

In my cfcatch, I am trying to set up an email of cfdump of all session variables. However, the email received is hard to read. All the cfdump formatting is lost. I have tried the following two methods:

<cfmail...>

<cfdump var="#session.transaction#">
</cfmail>

<cfsavecontent variable="dumpVariable">	
<cfdump var="#session.transaction#">
</cfsavecontent>
<cfmail ...>
#dumpVariable#
</cfmail>

Does anyone know how to properly use cfdump inside a cfmail?

Thank you in advance.

Did you have [maroon]type="HTML"[/maroon] in your cfmail tag?

Hope This Helps!

ECAR,

No, I forgot to turn that on. It's much better now. I still get all the javascript functions dumped at the beginning of the message, but at least I can see the session struct tables now.

Thanks a whole lot!

Min,

if you use <cffile ...> to write the cfdump out to a file, and delete the file when the mail is spooled you could attach the dumped data as an HTML file, and the javascript would render...

dlCF,

Thanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind, but for this purpose I don't really mind the js dump too much because it's part of a cfcatch that is (should be anyway) triggered rarely.
