Is there a point where a link in a PHP/MySQL-based site has too many $_GET
variables attached to it?
I use the format index.php?a=1b=2c=3e=4 to pass variables from page to
page, and am wondering where the limit is on such a format. Right now, eight
variables are passed, each being one to four

implementations might not properly support these lengths.

The limit on GETs is not something to do with PHP or MySQL, it's a web
server standard. I forgot what the length limit is for a URL (256, 1024

information from page to page you should use sessions. You can manage
sessions without
AFIAK its around 2K, but nay one who trusts it that far is really taking a

The browser may also have something to do with it.
Use hidden input forms to transfer data from page to page. Uses POST and
makes for a prettier URL.
input type=hidden name=a value=?php echo $a; ?
input type=hidden name=b value=?php echo $b; ? input
type=hidden name=c value=?php echo $c; ?
