In total, there are 77 entries (I only put 15 here). Is there a length limit for what I pass to the url? If not, how come there are no colors showing up in my image as I desired according to my url? >> >> Thanks for your help. >> >> Alice >> >> _________________________________________________________________ >> Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. >> http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469228/direct/01/ > > There are characters in the URL that have a meaning within a URL itself > (such as #). Use urlencode() before putting the data in the URL. > FWIW, how I would probably handle this is to have an array of $people_from and an array of $state_colors and then serialize() them and run through urlencode(). Then you have an array on the next page. Much easier to work with: $people_from = array('K-Alfalfa', 'OK-Atoka'); //etc... $state_colors = array('#FFFFCC', '#FFFFCC'); //etc... Then the link would be: $url = 'generic.php?people_from='.urlencode(serialize($people_from)).'&state_colors'.urlencode(serialize($state_colors)); You then have a $_GET['people_from'] and $_GET['state_colors'] array on the next page. -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
