Question

I am building an app where I need to allow a user to add a large text (a story) to his account in server.

This will be done like this:

1. application developed in vb.net for article formatting
2. pass the story to php page using request variables (because direct connection to MySql server can reveal my password in app exe)
3. php file will store data to database.

But right now I get: 414 error - url too big.

Any alternative to this ?

Answer 1

try http post, modified your php.ini file to increase its max size, though if its just text I doubt you will be hitting its limit, unless the stories are really long.
