Content Management System

The beginning of a long nightmare

[ph_eze_nouz]

Hi,

I am working on a content management system. Basically, the content of each page will be stored in a database then published on the internet. The content is entered manually using a set of form.

During the process of entering the editorial content, I find out that the form doesn't want to submit the content of a <texterea> as this content is very long (about 1250 lines). Is there a maximum amount of data to be submitted via a traditional form? Is it possible to change this limit?

Many thanks for your help ;)

I don't believe the textarea element has a limit. I think you're running into a limit either within the code or within the database field.

Can you break up the data into smaller chunks?

I don't think there's a limit to POST variables but if you're using GET then you'll run into problems.

we had a textarea submitting 66000 plus characters and it worked fine, though it was due to a programming error so I changed it.

The problem might be to do with the way it is stored, rather than the ability of the textarea.

Are you storing it in a "text" field in the database? Try changing it to "longtext" if you want to store more text.

Hi Everyone,

Many thanks for your support. I will give a try by updating the method in the form and change the settings of the field in the database to "longtext". Once done, I'll send you the conclusion on this problem.

Again, let me thank you all for your great support ;)
