But, I did find the function in the Actionscript library, and I used the new url to pass through to PHP. Looks like it still didn't work, could the length be an issue? BTW, these two variables start off from Actionscript as "arrays", but would knowing this here help? It would be nice that I can just pass them on as arrays (I had to "turn them into strings" before I passed to PHP). Thanks for your help.

This link should give you an idea of the string limits of different browsers and servers: http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html I have just done that, and here is the pathetically long url: http://tdc-queuing/test/generic.php?from=Adair,%20OK-Alfalfa,%20OK-Atoka,%20OK-Beaver,%20OK-Beckham,%20OK-Blaine,%20OK-Bryan,%20OK-Caddo,%20OK-Canadian,%20OK-Carter,%20OK-Cherokee,%20OK-Choctaw,%20OK-Cimarron,%20OK-Cleveland,%20OK-Coal,%20OK-Comanche,%20OK-Cotton,%20OK-Craig,%20OK-Creek,%20OK-Custer,%20OK-Delaware,%20OK-Dewey,%20OK-Ellis,%20OK-Garfield,%20OK-Garvin,%20OK-Grady,%20OK-Grant,%20OK-Greer,%20OK-Harmon,%20OK-Harper,%20OK-Haskell,%20OK-Hughes,%20OK-Jackson,%20OK-Jefferson,%20OK-Johnston,%20OK-Kay,%20OK-Kingfisher,%20OK-Kiowa,%20OK-Latimer,%20OK-Le%20Flore,%20OK-Lincoln,%20OK-Logan,%20OK-Love,%20OK-Major,%20OK-Marshall,%20OK-Mayes,%20OK-McClain,%20OK-McCurtain,%20OK-McIntosh,%20OK-Murray,%20OK-Muskogee,%20OK-Noble,%20OK-Nowata,%20OK-Okfuskee,%20OK-Oklahoma,%20OK-Okmulgee,%20OK-Osage,%20OK-Ottawa,%20OK-Pawnee,%20OK-Payne,%20OK-Pittsburg,%20OK-Pontotoc,%20OK-Pottawatomie,%20OK-Pushmataha,%20OK-Roger%20Mills,%20OK-Rogers,%20OK-Seminole,%20OK-Sequoyah,%20OK-Stephens,%20OK-Texas,%20OK-Tillman,%20OK-Tulsa,%20OK-Wagoner,%20OK-Washington,%20OK-Washita,%20OK-Woods,%20OK-Woodward,%20OK&state_colors=0xFFFFCC-0xFFFFCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFFCCCC-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0xFF9999-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x0DCCFF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF-0x3333FF This is generated from the encodeURI() Shawn was talking about. Does this seem "well-formed" to you? Thanks.

Is there no way instead to send the data as post data from Flash? I know Flash can make post requests, but I'm not sure how much more difficult it is. I had it using POST before, but from the PHP point of view, it does not matter how I make the request, does it? I mean, if the variables are problematic, would it matter if I use POST or GET? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469226/direct/01/
