-----Original Message----- From: Harpreet To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5-7-03 7:22 Subject: [PHP-WIN] Length question Dear group members, I have a field of type varchar[1000] in a sql server database. I use the below syntax to get it from the database.The length of the string is 288 in this case. When i do the selection and store the value in a variable. On printing the variable it only outputs 255 characters. Is there a limit to the amount of data a variable can store ?? If yes then how can i use a string longer then 255 in my database?? $sql="select sql from report_tbl where report_id = '".$id."'"; $result=mssql_query($sql); $row=mssql_fetch_array($result); echo $row["sql"]; $row["sql"] outputs 255 characters as opposed to 288 which is the actual length of the sql stirng. Please help.
