Re: Passing LARGE (1500-2500 chars) variable from JScript to PHP?

Any server along the way is allowed to chop GET requests to, like, 255 characters. Any server along the way is allowed to chop POST requests to, like, 1024? characters. *MOST* won't chop either, any more, but you're safe with POST instead of GET. You *COULD* however, try this to guarantee delivery: Breaking up the HTML into "packets" and POST each packet successively with a numbering scheme whereby PHP holds each packet in a temp table and assembles them when all packets have arrived. Dunno if JavaScript will let you execute multiple POSTs and ignore the returning HTML or not though... Your best bet by far is to have JavaScript execute a POST with a FILE UPLOAD. You'll have to figure out if JavaScript can do that, though... -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
