Forums - Request-URI Too Large

[SHAD]

Hi All,

I've realized that in mccodes forum, specifically the quote function, it uses the $_GET to get all the quoted text.

Now the problem with this is, if you quote large data, it all appears in the url and the url becomes really lenghty, then i get the message "Request-URI Too Large".

 

Any alternatives to this? Mabye use an id or something? I'm not sure.

Thanks

$_POST maybe?

I used an ID to get around the problem somewhat also.

//Data $_GET['quote'] ( reply )

if ($getReply = $db->prepare ('SELECT `postContent`, `postCreator`, FROM `posts` WHERE (`postID` =  ?)') ) { 
   $getReply->bind_param('i', $_GET['quote']);
   $getReply->execute();
   $getReply->store_result();
   if ($getReply->num_rows() > 0) {
       $getReply->bind_result($postContent, $postCreator);
       $getReply->fetch();
   }
   $getReply->free_result();
   $getReply->close();
}


$value = '';
if (isset ($postContent) && isset ($postCreator)) {
  $value = '[\quote='.$postCreator.'\]'.$postContent.'[/quote\]'; // \ because it likes to inject the BBCode of this forum into it.
}

<textarea><?php echo $value; ?></textarea>

Something to that effect.
