Hi,
I have done something wrong here, because when I have my variables
declared in my PHP:
$people_from = $_GET['people_from'];
$state_colors= $_GET['state_colors'];
I get this url: http://localhost/generic.php?people_from=Adair, OK-Alfalfa,
OK-Atoka, OK-Beaver, OK-Beckham, OK-Blaine, OK-Bryan, OK-Caddo, OK-Canadian,
OK-Carter, OK-Cherokee, OK-Choctaw, OK-Cimarron, OK-Cleveland, OK-Coal,
OKstate_colors=#CC-#CC-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF
The result? I don't get any colors on the screen as I have here in the url.
However, if I do:
$people_from = Adair, OK-Alfalfa, OK-Atoka, OK-Beaver, OK-Beckham,
OK-Blaine, OK-Bryan, OK-Caddo, OK-Canadian, OK-Carter, OK-Cherokee,
OK-Choctaw, OK-Cimarron, OK-Cleveland, OK-Coal, OK;
$state_colors=
#CC-#CC-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF-#FF;
I get the correct result. In total, there are 77 entries (I only put 15
here). Is there a length limit for what I pass to the url? If not, how come
there are no colors showing up in my image as I desired according to my url?
Thanks for your help.
Alice

OK, a few things wrong with your URL here. URL's cant contain spaces,
they have to be escaped as %20. Also, the # is a special character in a
URL, as it marks an anchor in a page.
Lastly, yes, there is a limit to data sent in a URL. It varies slightly
from browser to browser, but I would try not to go over a couple of
hundred characters.
Thanks,
