GET has restrictions on how much data can be passed through the URL - i'm not sure how large the restrictions are, but there definitely is some.

POST, however, does not have restrictions on the amount of data sent.. i think; either way it's much, much larger than GET.

To change to POST isn't hard and sounds like what you need!

Best of luck.

But how about PHP? i see it not work at all...

here is what i do but i did not get any mail at all.
[php]<?php

$recipient = '[e-mail]';
$subject = $_POST['subject']
$from = $_POST['from']
$email = $_POST['email']
$text = $_POST['text']
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$msg = "From: $from\n Email: $email \n IP Adrress :$ip \n\n Message: $text";
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg);

?>[/php]

First make sure it's working without Ajax.

yes..i check it and everything is work good if i use GET method..
But i need to use POST method but it not work here.
Here is additional thing that i want to tell you

var params = "$sender=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.sender.value)+
"&$email=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.email.value)+
"&$subject=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.subject.value)+
"&$text=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.text.value);

The params varialable be sent by

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xmlHttp.send(params)

But what should i do with PHP `

$msg = "From: $from\n Email: $email \n IP Adrress :$ip \n\n Message: $text";
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg);

?>[/php]

if you copy paste this code u missing ";"

$subject = $_POST['subject']
   $from = $_POST['from']
   $email = $_POST['email']
   $text = $_POST['text']

check your logs to see the error u getting and post it here

I did everything but alll is does not help
i think i have to do something with php..
i send variable params from javascrip which contents

var params = "$sender=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.sender.value)+
"&$email=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.email.value)+
"&$subject=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.subject.value)+
"&$text=" + encodeURIComponent(document.iform.text.value);

and i have to do something with variable params in PHP
but i don't know how .....?
i guess or what do you think ?

thanks
Alex

yesssssssssssssssss!! i got it
all is because i did not put the $params = $_POST['params']; in PHP
But now everything is work great :-)

I did think there must've been a problem in your PHP. Glad you got it working.
