VanBuskirk, Patricia napsal(a):
It isn't sending to MySql, we use FileMaker Pro 9. A new record did not get made in the d'base... the confirmation email went out, but wherever info was supposed to kick back from the d'base (ie. Order number), it showed an "undefined variable" error.

Subject: RE: php maximum characters in text field
I am starting to believe it is NOT the character length that is causing the problem. We have received other orders with more in it than that, and they came in ok. I think there may be something in the input that php does not like. I've been searching for code that will "clean up" input, possibly preg_replace?
Was the order received, but the text was shorter than expected?
Or was the order not "received" at all?
Check your mysql query log. It may show failed queries where bad characters made the query fail, perhaps using ' or "?
Use mysql_real_escape_string.

post the code (form + script that proccesses passed variables +
print_r($_POST) ), it'll make the things much quicker.
