Note Submitter: warwick dot barnes at aad dot gov dot au ---- Using PHP 4.3.9 and MSSQL Library 7.0, when I try to SELECT text from a column (field) defined as VARCHAR 8000 I get only the first 255 characters of the text - it's trucated for no apparent reason. To get round this I changed the column type from VARCHAR 8000 to TEXT, but then the output was trucated to 4096 characters. To fix this I changed two values in PHP.INI: mssql.textlimit = 16384 mssql.textsize = 16384 Now my text is trucated to 16384 characters, which is big enough for me - but you can apparently use a value as large as 2147483647.
