Hi, I have a large string that I need to send to a script that creates an image. eg <img src='createimage.php?wp=321,43,23,12,43,12,342,54,765,87,3,23,etc etc etc Until now this hasnt been a problem just putting the data in the URL, but now Im faced with a string that is over 3000 characters....which causes an issue and ends up displaying a red square on my page rather than the nice data I requested. I cant seem to find a way around this, someone else suggested posting the data, but how can I post from HTML?...can anyone help with another solution?

You can't make a POST request for an image using the <img> tag. What you could do, however, is put the data in a session variable and access it in the createimage.php file. Only thing I can think of, however, is that the createimage.php file might be called by the browser before the calling page has finished loading (esp. with newer pipelining browsers), and therefore before the session vars are saved... You could try it, though. Any other ideas? Jasper
