Posting data to MySQL - without clipping it

If I post data via a HTML/PHP form to a MySQL database (using POST or GET) it is posible that (if I pass a huge text block) the size of the content of a <textarea> field can exceed the maximum string length of a browser URL resulting in only a cut-down version of the content going into the database :-(

How does one get around that so that even large (64k+) text can be input into the database via PHP/HTML forms?

Thanks for the clarification.

Sincerely,
David

By using <form method=post ...>, or am I missing something? I thought only the get method was using the URL to communicate with the server.

David,

if you are using a post method ..it will be sending your form datas to the php program for database updation..Your database field should be text or blob type to receive huge text block....
