Gmail, Google’s popular free e-mail service, failed for more than an hour Tuesday in many places, affecting a “majority” of its millions of email users.

The outage affected “a majority” of Gmail users, the company said, and lasted about an hour and 45 minutes until the problem was fixed.

Worldwide users appeared to be affected, with people from England, Italy, Singapore and South Africa reporting problems on the company’s support site.

The free version of Gmail is the world’s third most-popular email program with some 149 million users worldwide in June, ranking behind the free email services offered by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc., according to data from comScore Inc.

The disruption came as Google attempts to compete with Microsoft Corp. and IBM to expand its service among business users, who are likely to be less tolerant of long outages. Gmail already competes with Microsoft’s Hotmail and Yahoo’s Web-based e-mail.

Though occasional disruptions are common, widespread outages involving Google’s services are rare.

This is the second outrage of Gmail this week after a small one on Monday that wiped out email to only a “small subset” of users.

When dealing with array, we cannot run away for looping. Because only with looping, you can cut short your hard coded script to read the value from array. And also you no need to worry about the dynamic of array.

Arraylen is the function that determines the number of elements in an array.

The syntax is ArrayLen(array)

Code

<!— Assigning value into 3D array —>

<cfset ResultsArray[1][1][1] = ‘a’>
<cfset ResultsArray[1][1][2] = ‘b’>

<cfset ResultsArray[1][2][1] = ’3′>
<cfset ResultsArray[1][2][2] = ’4′>

<cfset ResultsArray[2][1][1] = ‘z’>
<cfset ResultsArray[2][1][2] = ‘x’>

<cfset ResultsArray[2][2][1] = ‘m’>
<cfset ResultsArray[2][2][2] = ‘p’>

<cfset ResultsArray[3][1][1] = ‘ww’>
<cfset ResultsArray[3][1][2] = ‘xx’>

<cfset ResultsArray[3][2][1] = ’22′>
<cfset ResultsArray[3][2][2] = ‘cc’>

<!— Read the array lenght for 1st D, 2nd D, and 3th D —>
<cfoutput>
#ArrayLen(ResultsArray)#<br> <!— Get the lehgth of 1st D —>
#ArrayLen(ResultsArray[1])#<br><!— Get the lehgth of 2nd D —>
#ArrayLen(ResultsArray[1][1])#<br><!— Get the lehgth of 3th D —>
</cfoutput>
