Preserved Topic: PHP: form submitting (Page 1 of 1)

tell me, when im annoying you with my php questions.
2 Qs:

ok, im doing this admin-script and the user should also be able to write a new article in a textarea. the problem is the article could be very long. 500+ characters. and it seems as if a variable cant hold that amount of chars.

index.php?content=blabla.....(very long blabla)....

so is there a way around this?

2:
im using strip_tags() to strip the tags (who'd guess that) but i wont want them to be stripped if the user makes a new line. ( '\n' character).
should i manually do a convert from \n to <br&gt by parsing through the whole string or is there an easier way to do this?

big thanks in advance.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

GRUMBLE: I tried something similar and, as InI says, there are limitations. I'd assign the data to a session variable and then submit that.

By default PHP will accept 8MB of data via POST method. You can configure that in php.ini file ("post_max_size" option)....
