I'm surprised it took 3000 characters to become a problem... :-) You MAY want to try your HTML with src="createimge.php?wp=..." instead of the single quotes. Yeah, HTML 4.0 or whatever didn't care, but that new-fangled XML HTML crap it matters, I think. > Until now this hasnt been a problem just putting the data in the URL, > but now Im faced with a string that is over 3000 characters....which > causes an issue and ends up displaying a red square on my page rather > than the nice data I requested.

In the script that writes out the HTML, don't write out all those numbers in the URL. Stick them in a database table, or put them in a session, or if speed/performance is a Big Issue, and those can't hack it, stick them in Shared Memory. http://php.net/shmop Then you can pass a small identifier like an ID from the database, or whatever you want for an array index in your $_SESSION, or a path and integer for the shared memory. If shmop isn't fast enough, then you're in real trouble :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
