michaellunsford Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have a client attempting to post HTML code to a database. In this case, it just happens to be longer than 65,535. The database field (mysql TEXT type field) is recording exactly 65,535 characters of the content. Soo... either there is a $_POST limit I need to stay under, or a database limit.If it's a POST limit, what is the maximum length of POST? Is it 65,535 per variable, or for the whole array?

wildteen88 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 AFAIK there is not limit to $_POSTIt most probably to do with the Text field type, prehaps use MEDIUMTEXT Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18560-pushing-it-to-the-limit/#findComment-79950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I dont thnks he using a text field. As no one will write HTML all in one line! ButI I expect its a textarea, however michaellunsford is about the TEXT data type in MySQL.

michaellunsford Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 I'm using a rich text editor that emulates a <textarea> field. I'll keep the mysql limit in mind -- but for now, I have solved the pressing issue at hand. I ran the html through dreamweaver's "clean up html" command. Presto 65,535 is now 8,923. (there were oodles of nested an redundant tags in there)Thanks for the help!
