maximum size of HTTP POST?

[Anyango]

Folks

what is the maximum size in bytes which a POST field on a form can have.

can i submit more then 1mb text using FORM METHOD=POST and not using any file upload, simple textarea.

what is the maximum size of POST data that http allows to be submitted in one request

It depends on what value is supplied for upload_max_filesize [us3.php.net] and post_max_size [us3.php.net] in your php.ini file. I think the default is 2MB.

There is also an Apache directive that may come into play, depending on who controls your server's configuration.
