Coldfusion Components:- The argument passed to the function is not of type numeric
- by salim.vali
Hi
I have a simple form
form.cfm:-
<cfset Registr = createObject("component", "forms.Registr") />
<cfset setFoo = createObject('component','forms.Registr).putNUsr(username,password,rating) />
<form name="regFrm" action="#cgi.script_name#" method="post" onsubmit="submitform();" >
<tr><td>Username:</td>
<td><input type="text" name=" Username" value="#form. Username#" ></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td>
<td><input class="" type="password" name="password" value="#form.password#" ></td></tr>
<tr><td>Rate:</td>
<select name="rating" >
<option value="" ></option>
<cfloop query="qGetReting">
<option value="#rating_id#" <cfif form. rating eq prof_id>selected</cfif> >#rating#</option>
</cfloop>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
Now there is this cfc called Registr.cfc in the "forms" folder which has an insert-function called 'putNUsr'the code for 'Registr.cfc' is as follows.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="putNUsr" returntype="void" displayname="" output="no">
<cfargument name="password" type="string" required="true">
<cfargument name="rating" type="numeric" required="true">
<cfargument name="username" type="string" required="true">
<cfquery datasource="#application.xyz#" name="q_putNUsr">
insert into
users (username
, password
, rating)
values(
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments. username#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" />,
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.password#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" />,
<cfqueryparam value="#arguments.rating#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" )
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
I am able to populate the DB with the data if I do not use the form field "rating" which
is numeric.
Else i am getting the error as follows:-
The RATING argument passed to the putNUsr function is not of type numeric.
If the component name is specified as a type of this argument, it is possible that either a definition file for the component cannot be found or is not accessible.
KINDLY
HELP
