ODBC problem and fix

Hello all, Problem : I have a page that show a record from a SQL database, (by way of the general ODBC functions). The problem was that some pages (records) crashed the server (CPU 100% and not stopping). This happend for records that had a TEXT field with more that 4096 chars. (max used in a record = 5012 chars) Fix : In php.ini there is a setting for ODBC called "odbc.defaultlrl" with a default value of 4096. After changing this to 32768, the problem was fixed. But this fix only works until somebody creates a record with more than 32768 chars in it. I think the PHP function that uses this setting needs to be fixed.
