GET args can be truncated at some number, if the server does not want to allow longer args. I believe the minimum compliant limit is 1024 bytes. You also REALLY ought to be using http://php.net/urlencode on the GET args. And if you are spitting that URL out to a browser, you should then use http://php.net/htmlentities on it as well.
