it depends.
is it a char restriction that MySQL is placing on you?
e.g. a TINYTEXT field type can only contain 255 chars,
whereas a TEXT type can contain 16MB (or something like that)
if it's a PHP restriction, you'll have to wade thru
PHP scripts to find the function that checks the
length, and alter that function.
however, if it's a MySQL limitation, all you need to
do is log into the MysQL server and issue some
ALTER TABLE statements
