[FX.php List] Odd problem with POST values

[Bob Patin]

Hey Chris,

Well, if I POST <800 characters, either spread into 3 or 4 separate fields, or in a single field (all of these are type TEXTAREA), the page loads, writes to FileMaker, all is well.

If I post 800 characters or more, the page never loads, I get the dreaded white screen, meaning there's something going on. Nothing back from FX, so the query isn't getting done.

If I trace the progress of the page, I do see that the PHP script starts to load; it seems to choke when it tries to pull in the posted text...

I'm waiting to hear back from my client to see if the change to the PHP.ini file makes any difference...

I'm not trying to upload anything, by the way, just POSTing text. I've tried plain text, pasted text from Word, but both fail equally dismally... :)

BP
