RE: Too many $_GETs?

As far as I know there is no limit on the amount of variables, however there
is a limit on the length of the URL including query (I believe 256
characters).

Normally I would use hidden fields in a form (method POST) for this kinda
stuff.

Subject:  Too many $_GETs?


Is there a point where a link in a PHP/MySQL-based site has too many $_GET
variables attached to it?

I use the format "index.php?a=1&b=2&c=3&e=4" to pass variables from page to
page, and am wondering where the limit is on such a format. Right now, eight
variables are passed, each being one to four characters in length.

It's the best way I know to keep varaiables alive from page to page in a
situation where the user does not use cookies, but I'm worried that too many
$_GETs will slow down the server, cause trouble with the page, and possibly
cause problems that I have not yet seen.

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
