Today’s Dumbass Code of the Week is brought to you by code from my current job. This code, written circa 2002, is real, and has not been modified or harmed in any way during the posting of this blog entry. Are you ready for it??
<cfif Find("@", attributes.sEmail) GT 0>
<cfif Find(".", attributes.sEmail, Find("@", attributes.sEmail)) GT Find("@", attributes.sEmail)>
<!--- Set the Message the user will see if the process does not succed. --->
<cfset UserMessage = "<p>A password could not be found for the email address #attributes.sEmail#.</p>">
<cfelse>
<cfset attributes.sEmail = "Invalid Email Address">
<cfset UserMessage = "<p>Invalid Email Address.</p>">
</cfif>
<cfelse>
<cfset attributes.sEmail = "Invalid Email Address">
<cfset UserMessage = "<p>Invalid Email Address.</p>">
</cfif>Take a good long look at it. What will the outcome of this “Lost Password” functionality be? Mmmmm, tasty.
