Question

Got this error on a big $_GET query in size ~9 000 symbols (they are divided into ~10 variables).

Request-URI Too Large

The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

What is a workaround for this problem?

Answer 1

There is no workaround if you want pass all these info with GET without change server configuration.

Other solutions:

• Use POST with a form (or an hidden form and add onclick event at your link that submit it)
• Use Session. When the server generates the link, store it in $_SESSION with an unique id (or RID, it can be md5 of complete URI) and pass it via GET.
• Use Database or file storage (with the same procedure of session)
