[will not let me submit if there are too many characters]

erm..I changed them to post and it only displayed a very limited amount of characters..but it let me post it this time at least..here is the code

 

else if(!isset($submitNow)) {

echo \"<form name=\"addNews\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\" METHOD=\"GET\">\" .

\"<input type=hidden name=\"submitNow\" value=\"true\">\" .

\"<input type=hidden name=\"action\" value=\"Add\">\" .

\"<input type=hidden name=\"type\" value=\"News\">\" .

\"<b>Headline:</b> <input type=\"text\" name=\"headline\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"100\" length=\"100\">\" .

\"<br><br><b>Submitted by:</b> <input type=\"text\" name=\"poster\" size=\"30\">\" .

\"<br><br><b>Full story:</b><br><textarea name=\"story\" cols=50 rows=14></textarea>\" .

\"<br><br><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Add news item now\" name=\"submit\">\" .

\"</form>\";

[will not let me submit if there are too many characters]

so what should I do. Is there a way to change the \"get\" in the form because I believe its in there like you said

 

I didnt set a value to the text field..actually just left it blank. How should I solve this problem?

[will not let me submit if there are too many characters]

Okay. I am really new to My SQL and databases and stuff but here goes my question

 

My friend designed for me a php script which posts news articles directly on a website and pulls it from an SQL database. Now, it works fine until there are too many characters in the post, and it wont let me submit the article. I just press the submit button and it doesnt work

 

My friend checked and it isnt a problem in the php but some setting in SQL. I checked the field and it is set on \"text\" which means it should allow unlimited text in that field, right??

 

I am wondering if its a server limitation or something in PHP My Admin that I overlooked

 

Please explain this to me like im a 4 yr old cuz im very new,

 

Thanks!
