How to make user defined function global?

Jun 19th, 2009

Hi again,
Okay now I have a Coldfusion question, I have written a user defined function in coldfusion:

 Help with Code Tags 
 coldfusion Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<cfscript>
function isSqlInjection(str) {
  ....
 } 
</cfscript>
<cfscript>
function isSqlInjection(str) {
  ....
 } 
</cfscript>

Now I am a complete newbie to coldfusion and don't want to have to include this function in every page when I have to do this validation, but would rather have this as a global function to the whole application.
I've inherited this project so not completely 100% on how this application is set up, but if I can get an idea where to place this code to make it global that would be great.

I noticed an _app.cfm file that had some default values assigned and tried placing the function in this file, but that did not work.
