To my view there is > overwriting some internal buffer in PHP occures when variable > filled up by content of POST I believe this to be a limitation of a POST with the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" mime type. I ran into a similar problem when I was doing testing a while back. Using "multipart/form-data" I was able to do a POST submit on the entire Gates interview as found on Slashdot (whereas using the urlencoded mime type, I only got part of it). Try changing your form to: <FORM ACTION="/path/to/php/script.php" METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> And then try again. -- Dominic J. Eidson "Baruk Khazad!
