Passing a big string data from JavaScript to php

Question

I have a very long string variable(2000+ characters) in JavaScript and I need to pass it to a Php page so that I can store it in a Database. Which would be The BEST technique to pass this string variable along with some other data from JavaScript to a Php page ?

Do you have a guess for what the average and max sizes would be? 4,000 bytes? 4,000,000,000 bytes? Is this a string or binary data? — Brad

If you are using Ajax, try posting the data. The encoding is automatic and there is no size limit.

$.post('/my/url.php', { 'big': 'aoeuaoeuaoeuaoeuaoeu' } );

Of course the contents of the big variable will be much bigger. 2000 characters isn't that much. I've posted at least that much with no problem.
