I am looking for a way to send data from one page to another as POST
data without using forms or cURL.
I have a php script that is passing a list of cases from on page to
another when a link is clicked. This is working fine for the most part
as a link, but sometimes the list gets very large and gets cut off.
The reason it gets cut off appears to be a limitation on the amount of
data that can be passesd in the URI.
It looks like I can do this with cURL, but this script will run on
several servers that do not have cURL compiled in and I do not want to
recompile now.
I found a few posts that say this can be done with PHP and javascript,
but I found no good examples.
To give you an example on what I am doing:
<a href=case_details.php?cases=".$allCases."&priority=Low&PG=All>
$count</a>
$allCases is a comma separated list of numbers and can get very large.
i.e. 84638,48957,58945,45375,....
While you could 'cheat' by firing a XMLHTTPRequest which actually posts with javascript, this would not be very reliable, and for about 5%-15% of the people just plain won't work.
As stated numerous times the last few weeks: you probably want to save the data in a session. No posting/getting necessary, you allready have the data ready on your server.
However: can you tell why it is your link couldn't be a button that posts a form? Never make it harder on yourself then should be...
