Thanks hugely delocalizer and bert and anyone else who reads this. I am trying to get the site working on Apache locally (I did have it but the hard disk crashed a couple months ago and I'm struggling hence the delay).
I hadn't come across debugging PHP before - sounds very useful. What is the generally recommended setup for debugging PHP? I've found a couple Eclipse plugins - EclipsePDT based on xdebug and PHPeclipse which seems more basic. The string length does not seem relevant - the two strings currently isolated are: http://geocities.com/ [ed: this is not a link - this is the text I enter into the text field that creates the error] and the two Spanish sentences in my original post starting "Los animales silvestres..." - either of the sentences on its own does not crash, just the pair together. I don't specify the string length in the CakePHP, and it happens to both varchar(255) and blob database fields (mysql 5). By 404 I mean that when I press submit, it redirects to the homepage, which is exactly what it does if I type in a non-existent URL. I'm not sure what is doing this but if I can figure it out I'll create a 404 page to confirm.
