Re: Max Limit of post variables

Stuart, The limitations you are running into are browser related. The older browsers definitely won't handle that load. And the newer ones can handle more but no where near that load. Have you thought about splitting your form into steps?? Also, you could join all your hidden variables into a string and then explode them after the post. Hope I helped.

I am trying to generate an html form with approximately 3000 post variables (1500 input type text and 1500 hidden, I am mimicing a grid control). The page will handle several hundred but it crashes with more. Is there a limit to the number of variables that can be sent post. Or is it possible I am violating some html tag rules and the browser does not have a too much problem with the few hundred post variables. I am using apache2, php4 and Explorer for the browser, however it also crashes in Netscape (but not as bad).
