Re: 1000+ character POSTed strings get mangled

[Jonny Roller <Jonny.Roller@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info!  Based on the "Apache2" reference and dug into the 
problem a little more.  Bug 18648 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18648) 
contains a long thread from folks with similar problems.  It seems that 
the Apache2 setup creates a conf.d/php.conf file with this in it:

<Files *.php>
    SetOutputFilter PHP
    SetInputFilter PHP
    LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>

I got rid of that code, restarted Apache and now all is well!
