I am working on a PHP program that allows the user to paste in code and then will run it and spit out an answer (at least that's the short description). Anyway, the textarea will only allow a certain amount of information to be submitted!

How do I get around this limit? I can paste in as much as I want, but if there's too much, the form just won't submit. I am running Apache w/ PHP on OS X.

Thanks

I've never run into this problem. I would first check to see if this is a browser issue. If not, then check the PHP/Apache configurations.

Well, I answered my own question. Changing the method from "get" to "post" eliminates any size restrictions when submitting forms, just in case anyone else has any trouble with this.

I was just gonna ask how you were submitting it! I like sendthing things thru POST so you don't see any messy querystrings, but beware, some firewalls don't like to let alot of info thru POST. Generally you can send an unlimited amount of data thru POST. i believe GET has a 1k limit, but I'm not sure (but there is a limit).
