RE: [PHP-DB] Limitations on sending text to a database via text area forms

This more of sounds like there is a discrepancy in internet explorer 6 ? If you don't have other versions/brands of browser than i.e. 6 in your machine Can you give the web page out so that i can try it with i.e. 5.5 and NS 6 ? If it works in other browsers it is definitely something in i.e. 6 ...

I had been assuming I could use a textarea form and have PHP pass it to a mySQL database. However, when I attempted to send a 393 word (2,216 characters) text block, the browser (I.E. 6) refused to move. I got no error or other indication of trouble. When I cut the text down under 275 words (1,531 characters), the form was allowed to be submitted, stored and retrievable Is this the limit on passing textarea form fields? And more to point of this mailing list, what alternatives might I use to circumvent this limit? I need to keep the creation of these documents as simple as possible. Anything more than copying and pasting is going to cause trouble more me. John Hughes -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
