RE: [PHP-DB] mysql data truncation does not cause an error to be thrown
You may want to check the my.ini setting for the table type you are using and see if there is a setting in there that needs to be enabled. I thought I read once that truncation may happen silently depending on the my.ini setting. Just a thought.

RE: [PHP-DB] mysql data truncation does not cause an error to be thrown
I agree. And maybe there is an error reporting level that can be set in mysql. But you should also start sanitizing user input. And do it on the server side (even if you do some on the client side). Maybe your form's action script could be sent to directly and your javascript validation sidestepped.
