Get 3

[thoand]

hi again,
I've red that the GET method has a limit of 128K with data.

In my application am sending a string from the parent page to an inline frame, eg : src="inline.php?string=<?echo urlencode($string);?>"

Some times the string is bigger than 128K, and it fails.

Is there any other ways to do this?

Have you tried using $_POST[] ?
also note that the GET limit is a browser problem, some browsers have a much less limit.

I am not quite sure I understand

here is my code:

...
get $string from database ...

<iframe src="./inline.php?string=<?echo urlencode($string);?>" ...>
as you se I send it through the url (GET).

I thought $_POST[] had to do with forms.

(a): The limitation on the size of a URL (querystring included) is more like 128 characters, not 128kB...

(b): Why not have inline.php get the string from the database itself? OR (and this one smells a bit dodgy to me for some reason), store the string in a session variable for the frame src to retrieve when it loads.

(c): GET and POST (and, allegedly, PUT) are the different types of requests an http client can make to an http server. Details are beyond the scope of this thread; consult any decent http reference (such as that at the W3C).

Hi !
I Have never understood how the limitation on the size of a URL really works.

I've just tried to send 1.000.000 characters (~1Mo) and you won't believe it, it works fine !
With 2.000.000 characters the navigator displays an error

I do find that hard to believe; did you hand craft the GET request yourself? What did the URL look like?
