While developing several sites based on a PHP (3.0.6/Apache-1.3.4) engine, ive
stumbled across a max. size limit for TEXT fields while inserting them in the
MySql (3.22.15) database. The max size was 65535, which sounds awfully much
like a 2byte unsigned numeral, now my question is, is this a limit thats set
by PhP by the internal variable parser, or is this a external factor (eg a
limit set in mysql, etc ..) Ive been looking thru both the php and mysql
documentation, and came up blank so far...
look in section 7.2 of the mysql manual, and scroll down until you find
'TEXT' at the left hand side of the page.
