Limit of POST
Hi all, is there any LIMIT for POST or GET?

For example, what would be happen if i use a new field named text with 5000 bytes as text/blob ?
The problem is i cant use more than one add-forms, cause i must pass the vars as hidden to the second, third an so on;

seems this could be done only with a small ascii to save the data during process.

Knows someone this limit?

Robert

I'm not sure if there is a limit, since I've never hit it on any site.

I've seen pages pass hundreds of K of data back and forth -- but it becomes "expensive" in terms of security and transit time. If you are sending that sort of data back and forth, you should consider using 'sessions' and session tables for storing values not needed _in_ a form, but needed during or after the forms are processed.

Hey Mr. PROGRAMMER,

i think you right as most of time :-)
but though my links grows and grows with new functions and features im still no programmer and so i will try it first without session-saves, but when having more time i will try to build more own tables and routines to put and get data.
