Hi there,
I am checking plausability inside a php script that receives a POST
submit. If an error occures the user should be redirected back, along
with his original data filled into the forms.
There is a problem with this. As the GET method, which the redirect is
using, only allows a certain amount of characters, the text is always
cut down.
I use this:
HEADER("Location:".$data[rurl]."?error=".$error.$parameter);
Is there a way to redirect the user to the form and fill in large text?
Thank you for your help,
Best regards, Merlin
This is a normal behaviour. Webservers trim the GET-request at a certain
length.
You have several options:
- don't do a redirect but return the form, with most clean frameworks it
should be no problem to include the action wich generates the form
- save the variables in a session, then send the redirect-header and
clean the session after regenerating the form
- save the variables in a cookie stored at the client and clean the
cookie afterwards (ugly)
