If I can get the field to accept the text, there's no problem sending it via POST to the PHP script. I think that is browser-dependent. For example, for NN (4.x) I think it was 64K. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* If you don't strike oil in twenty minutes, stop boring. -- Andrew Carnegie, on public speaking */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Text Fields - How Big Can They Be?
Are you using GET or POST as the method of your form? GET will limit the amount of text you can submit because it appears in the URL. POST really doesn't have a limit, as far as I know. ---John W.

Hi Guys... This is indirectly related to PHP: Does anyone know the max amount of text a free-form HTML text field can handle? I noticed that for some longer articles we're storing in a content management system written with PHP, we were unable to paste the body of the article into the text field because there was too much text. When we pared the text down, it was no problem. This is bad news for a content management system! We have some longer articles, around 8-10 HTML pages, and now I have no idea how we are going to get them into the system using an HTML form. I really don't want to have to do this manually in MySQL. That would make me break down and start sobbing. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a solution? Thanks a lot!

Hi John, I'm using POST for the form. But it's the HTML form field itself that won't allow me to paste in a large amount of text.

It's a great idea. Thanks, Monty From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John W.
