<cfif IsDefined("FORM.submit")> 
    <cfset myNumberArray = ArrayNew(1)> 
    <cfset myNumberArray[1] = number1> 
    <cfset myNumberArray[2] = number2> 
         
    <cfif Form.Submit is "Add">     
        <!--- Use ArraySum to add the number in the array. ---> 
        <p>The sum of the numbers is 
        <cfoutput>#ArraySum(myNumberArray)#.</cfoutput> 
    </cfif>     
</cfif>     
<!--- This form provides two numeric fields that are added when the form is submitted. ---> 
<form action = "arraysum.cfm" method="post">
