PHP $_GET Not Sending

I am having an interesting problem with sending a $_GET variable. It's quite a long variable.

What I try to send (doesn't work):

print_r($_GET) output:

Is there a limit to a single $_GET variable size? 开发者_如何学编程I am confused why it stops working up to a certain point.

These old questions should clear things up a little

What is the maximum possible length of a query string?

What is the maximum length of a URL in different browsers?

I'm not sure about how much is the limit in a GET variable, that limit is established by the browser you are using, I recomend that if you have to send a lot of information you should use POST instead of GET.

nginx throws a "Request Entity Too Large (413)" when the URI is too big for the server... so i read. The limit is set in the client_max_body_size option. But i don't know much about nginx.
