Size of post too big

I got a database that currently is pretty big (and even gets bigger by time). I got a webpage on which I present the data in a form, so it can be changed. I send it with method post. This worked pretty well until the data got too much. Now it tells me 'it exceeds the limit of 1000'. I read that I could change post_max_size in php.ini but I cant do it on my webserver, so its not really an option for me. Is there anything else I can do? The problem is, that ALL THE SHOW data will be in post, not only the changed one. Is there something that would do the trick?

I don't know the type and setup of your web-server, but post_max_size can be set in an .htaccess file:

php_value post_max_size 10000

Alternatively you could only send the values that have changed. If you use ajax to post your form, you could set - and check for - for example a data attribute like modified set on the fields.

By the way, I am assuming that you are talking about individual posts and are not sending your whole database back-and-forth. If you offer editing of a collection of items, you should use something like pagination to limit the number to a fixed maximum.
