Passing large variables

[Anon]

I want to be able to pass a large variable (lots of lines of text) from one PHP script to another one. I know this can be done with smaller variables by appending them to the URL using ?var=xyz
Is there any way I can do this easily with large variables with using forms to POST data, and without using sessions?

Also, does anyone know of any good tutorials on using sessions without cookie support?

Thanks

If you're using a form, then just use method="POST" and you should be just fine. The POST method doesn't rely on data in the url like the GET method does, and the browser shouldn't have any trouble passing on large variables. Another option would be to write the data to a temporary text file and pass the name of the text file.

Errgh.. there's a typo in there.

I meant without using forms when I actually said with using forms. Oops

Your only option other than using the POST method would be to have the first script write the data to a file or database and have the second script read it out again.
