Passing long text through php url

Reading from database.

  1. why not passing vars via POST method
  2. are you sure the text is url-encrypted?
  3. make sure that the database CAN handle large text files (change the type of the table from small text to long text etc)

Reading from database.

so how about just cutting the string half and post both parts? :smiley:

Reading from database.

They use POST variables, rather than GET variables in the server request. It has the variables inside the request message, rather than in the URL file request.

You should do that. :wink:

instead of $_GET[‘whatever’] (index.php?whatever=something) you use $_POST[‘whatever’]

if there is a variable declared in flash with the name of whatever, you’ll be able to get its value from php after sending via the post method

keep in mind that by using the post method all variables will be sent and will be able to access that are in the same level/movieclip
you can specify which vars to send by simply adding them to an empy mc and evoke the function from that mc

hope it helps tough
