Char Limit with Post?

form post character limits

[chadmg]

Hello.

Does anyone know what kind of character/size limit is on a form post? Do textareas have any limit?

The GET method passes its contents as part of the URL, as a query string which limits the amount of data which can be passed. I've sen figures of 8000 bytes of data mentioned

POST form contents are passed to the script as an input file which means much more form data can be passed. I have seen no hard and fast figure for this, but I imagine that most forms would be hard pressed to reach a limiting factor.
