Be careful using long urls!
It's a very unreliable mechanism.
I've tried it in the past and anything over 1K is pushing your luck. Depending on the
systems the URL is being passed through I've had truncations (or
just things going horribly wrong) from as little as 500 characters before now - and of
course unless you're on a purely local setup, it might not even be
consistent.
It's more work but for anything like this use POST if you can.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Posting data to a web page
Hi,
I am trying to post data to a web page using the code
fopen("http://www.someserver.com?data=XXXXXXXXXXX";);
The data is actually around 7k worth and I seem to be having trouble
with the app it is posting to ( I have URL encoded it). I was reading
in various places on the web that there might be a url length limitation
and was wondering if this method should work or not for posting data to
a form??
If anyone can confirm, deny, or point me in the direction of something
better, I'd apreciate it.
Regards,
Paul
