my understanding (and i could be totally wrong) is varchar only accepts values up to 255 (so does char). To get larger than that you have to use 'text' (i.e. create table <name> (<column> text not null......); -----Original Message----- From: Franco Breciano [mailto:fbrecia@fi.uba.ar] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 7:59 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] MSSQL 7.0 and PHP I'm using php to retrieve a Query from a SQLServer 7.0 database. My code is this one: $base = mssql_select_db($db,$conexion); $sql="SELECT MarcasSolicitante FROM Marcas"; $result = mssql_query($sql,$conexion); while ($myrow = mssql_fetch_array($result)) { $mensaje= $myrow["MarcasSolicitante"]; ?> <p><strong><font size="4"><u>Mensaje:</u></strong> &nbsp &nbsp</u> <font size="3"><?echo $mensaje;?> </font></a></P> <hr> <....> <....> The problem is that the field MarcasSolicitante in the database is VarChar(7000), and php receives a Char(255), what I'm I doing wrong? Isi there any parameter I can modify in order to retrieve correctly the fields??
