Hey guys, I want to know how to retrieve data from POST (form) ... What I want to do is... I've got a textarea for ppl to enter large amount of text (essay), and I

let

ppl submit it (using POST), then insert these data into mySQL. I get it working if I use GET (I only know how to use GET, dunno about

POST)

with small amount of words (say 1600 characters), but when there are more than 2000 characters, the submit button doesn't work. And I found that it

is

becoz GET does not allow too large amount of text appear in the URL... So anyone can teach me how to get data from POST? I read some web sites

but

still have no idea how to do it ... I think I need an example... Please help
