Re: mysql_fetch_array limit? - more details

I use mysql_fetch array to retrieve large text data many many times without a problem. I've actually written functions to retrieve the data for me using this function, and I never had a single problem, truncated or speed, on Unix, Linux or Windows platform. Check out the code for the functions getrow(), getrows(), they use mysql_fetch array. http://zc8.com/zc8/samplecode/sqltools.phps This is the explanations of the functions: http://zc8.net/zc8/shownews.php?articleid=98 You can use those as you please if you want On Tue, 30 Jul 2002, Paul Worthington wrote: > No I don't have PhpMyAdmin installed.
