What is the size limit of a post request?

Question

Sorry if this is duplicate,I would think it would be but couldn\'t find anything.

I have a flex application that I am posting data back to a php/mysql server via IE.

It depends on a server configuration. If you're working with PHP under Linux or similar, you can control it using .htaccess configuration file, like so:

#set max post size
php_value post_max_size 20M

And, yes, I can personally attest to the fact that this works :)

If you're using IIS, I don't have any idea how you'd set this particular value.
