storing an html in a variable php then echoing it

Question

I'm storing an html in a php variable by using a $_GET method.
This is what I did.

http://myurl.com?html=%3Cdiv%20class=%22invoice-logo%22%20style=%22float:left;margin-bottom:15px;%22%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22https://myurl/account/images/invoice_logo.gif%22%20title=%22New%20Covenant%20Software%22%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv%20style=%22clear:both%22%3E%3C/div%3E%3Ch3%20class=%22invoiceNum%22%20style=%22padding:0px;font-size:25px;%22%3E%3Cstrong%3EInvoice#9368%3Cstrong%3E%3C/strong%3E%3C/strong%3E%3C/h3%3E%3Ctable%20class=%22widefat%22%20style=%22font-size:12px;margin-bottom:6px;width:48%;%22%3E%3Ctbody%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20class=%22table_heading%22%20style=%22text-align:left;%22%3EBill%20To%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20class=%22table_heading%22%20style=%22text-align:left;%22%3EContact%20Us%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22text-align:left;background-color:white;%22%20class=%22table_body%22%3ETravis%20Harris%3Cbr%3ENew%20Covenant%20Software%3Cbr%3E322%20Old%20Mill%20Rd%3Cbr%3ENewmanstown,%20PA%2017073%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22text-align:left;background-color:white;%22%20class=%22table_body%22%3ENew%20Covenant%20Software%3Cbr%3E%3Cb%3E%28866%29%20213-6539%3C/b%3E%3Cbr%3E%3Ca%20rel=%22noreferrer%22%20onclick=%22window.open%28%27https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=billing@newcovsoft.com%27,%27Compose%20new%20message%27,%27width=640,height=480%27%29;return%20false%22%20title=%22[GMCP]%20Compose%20a%20new%20mail%20to%20billing@newcovsoft.com%22%20href=%22mailto:billing@newcovsoft.com%22%3Ebilling@newcovsoft.com%3C/a%3E%3Cbr%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3C/tbody%3E%3C/table%3E%3Cdiv%20style=%22float:right;margin-bottom:5px;%22%3E%3Cstrong%3EDate:%20%3Cspan%20class=%22dateCreated%22%3E12/01/2011%3C/span%3E%20%3Cspan%20style=%22color:#C5D0DD;%22%3E%20|%20%3C/span%3E%20Due%20Date:%20%3Cspan%20class=%22dueDate%22%3E01/01/2012%3C/span%3E%3C/strong%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv%20style=%22clear:both;%22%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv%20id=%22table-invoice-result%22%3E%3Ctable%20class=%22widefat%22%3E%3Ctbody%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%3EQuantity%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3EDescription%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3ERate%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3EAmount%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E8%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3EROSS%20Server%20Fees:%20TESTING3%20%28December%2016th%202011-January%2015th%202012%29%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E$79.99%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E$639.92%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E12%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3EROSS%20Server%20Fees:%20TESTING3%20%28December%2016th%202011-January%2015th%202012%29%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E$79.99%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E$959.88%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3ECustomer%20Credit:%20Server%20Fee%20Credit%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3ECustomer%20Credit:%20Server%20Fee%20Credit%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3ECustomer%20Credit:%20Server%20Fee%20Credit%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3ECustomer%20Credit:%20Server%20Fee%20Credit%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%22%3ECustomer%20Credit:%20Server%20Fee%20Credit%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E%3Cfont%20color=%22RED%22%3E-$79.99%3Cfont%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/font%3E%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;%22%3E1%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%20style=%22background-color:white;text-align:left;%2

My problem is if I try to echo this one, I'm not getting all the result. This is how I echo it.

$html = <<<EOD
{$_GET['html']}
EOD;
echo $html;

This are only the results I have when I echoed this:

<div class="invoice-logo" style="float:left;margin-bottom:15px;"><img src="https://myurl/account/images/invoice_logo.gif" title="Test Title"></div><div style="clear:both"></div><h3 class="invoiceNum" style="padding:0px;font-size:25px;"><strong>Invoice

As you can see, it cuts off after the code <strong>Invoice
Any ideas why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded!
Thanks!

Answer 1

You are doing something wrong.
HTML is a part of the program code, and shouldn't be sent to and fro between server and client.

Instead of that, only raw data should be recieved from client, then formatted on the server side and then resulting HTML have to be sent to client.

Answer 2

If you need the html to be inside a GET request, use base64_encode(). After submitting it, you can decode the html by running base64_decode($_GET['html']).

Answer 3

See http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html and Is there a limit to the length of a GET request?

You're much better off using curl to get the contents of the URL in PHP (if you're trying to get the HTML from a standard website), or using POST (if you're passing the HTML into the PHP file directly).
