Hi,
I currently have a form that calls a PHP script when submit is pressed. Within the PHP script, I
wish to call a custom confirmation screen. I do so by issuing the following command:
Header("Location: " . $form["redirect"]);
Now, I wanted my form variables passed from the PHP script to my HTML document so I wrote a function
within the form that adds the variable names and values to the URL by urlencoing them like such:
$output = "?";
$output .= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode(stripslashes($val)) . "&";
returning the above in a variable $vars, I call my redirect as such:
Header("Location: " . $form["redirect"] . $vars);
If I am not mistaken, this is synonymous with an HTTP GET?
Here is my problem; the above fails with a large form, i.e., a form containing many fields. A bit
of investigation has determined that there is a 1Kb limit on the total size of a request
(URL+params) and I have one form that must be exceeding the limit.
Question: Is there a way to emulate my above scheme via an HTTP POST as POST has no limit?
Alternatively, is there another way to pass variables from a PHP script to a HTML form where I
won't run into this limit?
Thanks,
Don
