Creating an order string to send for payment processing

[shawntbanks]

I need to create an orderstring to send to my payment processing company, fine if there is only one, but what if I have an array full of items and I have to create an orderstring for each one. The string has to follow this fromat

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;orderstring&quot; value=&quot;ItemNum~ItemDesc~0.00~1~Y~||
ItemNum2~ItemDesc~0.00~1~Y~||
ItemNum3~ItemDesc~0.00~1~Y~||&quot;>

I have an array that contains more than one item but I don't know how to dynamicaly create the string.

MAYBE

<CFLOOP from=&quot;1&quot; to=&quot;#ArrayLen(aryLocalArray)#&quot; index=&quot;whichItem&quot;>
<cfoutput><input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;orderstring&quot; value=&quot;#aryLocalArray[whichItem].orderid#~#aryLocalArray[whichItem].itemname#~#fees.price#~1~Y~||
>

</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

Any ideas!!

<!--- I HAD TO SET UP MY OWN ARRAY SO HERE IT IS --->
<cfparam name=&quot;variables.itemList&quot; default=&quot;&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray = arrayNew(2)>
<cfset aryLocalArray[1][1] = &quot;0001&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[1][2] = &quot;apples&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[1][3] = &quot;10.00&quot;>

<cfset aryLocalArray[2][1] = &quot;0002&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[2][2] = &quot;oranges&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[2][3] = &quot;15.25&quot;>

<cfset aryLocalArray[3][1] = &quot;0003&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[3][2] = &quot;peaches&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[3][3] = &quot;5.50&quot;>

<cfset aryLocalArray[4][1] = &quot;0004&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[4][2] = &quot;grapes&quot;>
<cfset aryLocalArray[4][3] = &quot;11.75&quot;>

<!--- CHANGE THIS CODE WITH YOUR ARRAY AND THIS WOULD WORK.... --->
<cfscript>
for( i=1; i LT ArrayLen(aryLocalArray); i=i+1 ){
variables.itemList = variables.itemList & aryLocalArray[1] & &quot;~&quot; & aryLocalArray[2] & &quot;~&quot; & aryLocalArray[3] & &quot;~1~Y~||&quot;;
}
</cfscript>

<cfdump var=&quot;#aryLocalArray#&quot;>
<cfoutput>#variables.itemList#</cfoutput>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;orderstring&quot; value=&quot;<cfoutput>#variables.itemList#</cfoutput>&quot;>
