I was making an xml editor in Flex but at some point, I can’t send the xml data to my php file because the value of the URLRequest.data is too long for my server. Is there any way to get around this. I’ve checked my string and I’m only sending the xml data, there’s no extra junk getting stapled onto the php request.
