POST text can be very large, but your server is allowed to limit it as low as 2K, I think. GET data can be limited as small as 255 characters, I think. Those limits may have increased, but the bottom line is still GET *can* have a much lower limit. It's up to the server to impose (or not) this limit. >So how could this be done with post?

You'll be able to do a quick hack to fix it just using POST, but, truly, you'll save yourself a lot of headache long-term to use: http://php.net/session_start to just keep track of the user's ID, and store all the data as they fill it in in a 'temporary' table in your database. Create a table with all the fields in all the forms, and call it something like 'incomplete_applications' Then, when the user has clicked around on all the pages and is happy, they can submit the 'final' application. You can then double-check all the data and make sure it's good, and then insert it to the "real" table, and delete it from the "temp" table. You'll need to sit down and plan this out a bit more, but you'll be much happier with the results. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
