You just ran into a limitation of PHP's mssql extension on Windows. This
extension was built with DB-Library, which is obsolete and does not
support the new or extended SQL Server 7.0/2000 data types. DB-Library
assumes all varchar fields have a max size of 255, which was the case for
SQL Server
Instead of:
SELECT varchar_field FROM table
Try:
SELECT convert(text,varchar_field) FROM table
There might be a more efficient way but this has always worked for me...
