Hi all I'm new here. I've tried searching the forums first for an answer to my questions but I'm not having too much luck.

These are my questions:

1. Is there a limit to the number of array elements I can pass to a php script in a URL using the POST method?

2. Is there a limit to the number of characters in each element?
(I have a feeling this answer to this is yes, as I have tested it a little, and while I can pass quite a bit of text in one POST array element there does seem to be a character limit.)

Thanks for the help.

I'm sure there is probably a limit but I don't think you'd ever find it. You'd probably run into a script execution timeout before you got to the end of the array. And if you set your execution limit off you'd probably run out of processes.

Just a guess though. I could be totally wrong.
