Passing LARGE (1500-2500 chars) variable from JScript to PHP?

News.Fbcc.Com 12 August 2001 21:55:16
 I want to pass a large (easily 1500-2500 characters) variable between a
DHTML object using Jscript over to a PHP script to ultimately update a MySQL
database. I know that I can pass a variable along with the link, i.e.
location.href=etc. etc., but I believe there is a limit on the size of an
href. What I am doing is editting text and am using MSIE specific functions
to create HTML on the fly which I then want to pass to a PHP script to
update my database.

Any help would be SINCERELY appreciated!!
Merci, (or is that mercy?)
Andre

 I don't think it is possible to pass so much chars in a href, or URL for
the matter. Is it really necessary? Couldn't you first write somewhere
(db/file) those chars and retrieve it later, referencing it on the href?

 Any server along the way is allowed to chop GET requests to, like, 255
characters.

Any server along the way is allowed to chop POST requests to, like, 1024?
characters.

*MOST* won't chop either, any more, but you're safe with POST instead of
GET.

You *COULD* however, try this to guarantee delivery:

Breaking up the HTML into "packets" and POST each packet successively with a
numbering scheme whereby PHP holds each packet in a temp table and assembles
them when all packets have arrived. Dunno if JavaScript will let you
execute multiple POSTs and ignore the returning HTML or not though...

Your best bet by far is to have JavaScript execute a POST with a FILE
UPLOAD. You'll have to figure out if JavaScript can do that, though...

 Wow, seems pretty obvious now that you've said it, Richard, but then that's
how it always works.

Yes, I can just write it all to a file and then upload that to the server
then can grab it from there with PHP. Ahhh, life is GOOD! Worst case, the
the user will have to click twice, once for the upload and again to confirm
the update. AWESOME! You have no idea how stuck I was on that on. I'll have
a look/listen at some of those CD's.

Thanks again!
Andre

 Thank you for the response Julio! That's what I will do is write to a file
and then upload that file. From there I can have PHP get to that file for
insert/update into a MySQL database.

Thanks much!
Andre

 all you need is a unvisible iframe (<IFRAME width="0" height="0"
name="framename"> ... </IFRAME>) and give it a name.

then, you do a framename.write('da­ta') with data in this format:

<form method="post" action="youphpscrip­t.php" name="formname">
<input type="hidden" name="youvarname" value="youdatatosen­d">
</form>

followed by a formname.submit();

that's about all it is.....
