maximum number of variables which maybe passed to a php file
Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 8:46 pm
Hi, I have been working on a series of pages (thanks to everyone who has helped so far) which would allowed me to bulk update a database. A query is made and all rows which match the search criteria are displayed with a subset of fields placed in input text boxes on a html page. Some of the boxes are then edited. All the quantities are stored in arrays (there are 10 editable boxes for each of say 400-500 rows). So that would 4000-5000 quantities which are then passed to a php page which loops over all entries and does a update of the database. Is this asking too much? The form is generated by a method=get.
I could have a typo in my code, but when I hit the submit button at the end of the html form nothing happens, it doesn't seem to even call the php page at all. So I was wondering if this is coding error on my part or if this is due to the number of variables I am passing.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
