strings from a field(type: VARCHAR(4000)) are being truncated at 255 characters. Apparently this is how varchars work(how is that useful?). I've found these two solutions on the internet but neither of them seemed to work. first, some people thought it might be a php.ini thing, so I put this at the top of my php file: ini_set ( 'mssql.textlimit' , '65536' ); ini_set ( 'mssql.textsize' , '65536' ); that didn't work, so other people suggested using the text field type instead but these two queries return nothing, so I must be doing something wrong or this just isn't the answer: $bquery="SELECT CONVERT(TEXT,description) FROM table WHERE userID='$row[userID]'"; $bquery="SELECT CAST(description AS TEXT) FROM table WHERE userID='$row[userID]'";

http://nkalush.com/index3.html Hello, I am on my third revision of my portfolio website and I could use some useful critique. I only recently graduated from college and I'm looking to get a job in web design or do freelance web design. Since I have no other web design work to show off, I need this to look nice while I find some free/cheap work to do. Sorry for the whole story thing, I've never really done the whole submitting a website to the public thing before. I tested the html and css with the w3c validators and it seemed okay, except that the css one doesn't do css3 yet. Anyways I put the link at the start of the post, and I figured I'd throw some questions to see if it gets the ball rolling: -color scheme look okay? -readability okay? -I'm not convinced putting random crap I'm working on in my free time on the front page is a good idea, but it looks bland without something else. Any suggestions? -Does the different font in the contact me section work or should I stick with only 2 fonts. -should I do something else with the portfolio? specifically the way you look at different things? -Does it look professional enough to get me hired as website designer? or does it still look like someone who doesn't know what they're doing? (I think everything I do looks amateur so I can't tell) Also, while this probably isn't the place to be asking for coding help, here's some problems I could use help with: -The footer only seems to touch the bottom of the page only in chrome, and I can't figure out how to make it work in firefox and IE... Well that's all I could think of to ask, hopefully it helps and doesn't limit the discussion, thank you in advance for looking.
