Posting data to MySQL

[Anon]

If I post data via a HTML/PHP form to a MySQL database (using POST or GET) it is posible that (if I pass a huge text block) the size of the content of a <textarea> field can exceed the maximum string length of a browser URL resulting in only a cut-down version of the content going into the database :-(

How does one get around that so that even large (64k+) text can be input into the database via PHP/HTML forms?

Thanks for the clarification.

Sincerely,

David

I think 32K is the limit for Netscape, and there's nothing that can be done about it as far as I know.

Wouldn't a POST be okay since it doesn't append anything to the url? I could be wrong but I have inserted fairly large amounts of text into my DB using POST and Haven't had any problems

POST does the trick, GET just foobars. Thanks for input anyway
