Hi, i did a standard preg [A-Za-z0-9]{1,65536}
What i am simply trying to do is to validate the a form that will insert
into my TEXT database field. So i just want to prevent a larger insert
then expected.
PHP trows me this error "preg_match(): Compilation failed: number too
big in {} quantifier at offset 19 ..."
So it appears that quantifiers are limited. Anybody knows what that
limit is ?
Thanks
