Does anybody know, of PHP - especially file_get_contents() - restricts
the size of the URL, which is passed to send a GET request?

I need to pass serializes array from one app to another. These
structures might get big....

In theory the length is not restricted by the RFC (IIRC), but in
practice there are limitations in the browsers and maybe even in the web
servers.

What about sessions or POST?

Thx! I'll switch to SOAP, which is anyway a better design.
