limit on text size for TEXTAREA in PHP ?

[Anon]

hi,

is there a limit on the size of the text that PHP can handle entered in to a TEXTAREA ?? ..

if you can view the code below, all it does is lets you enter some text in a textarea - then when submitted, it shows the text in a new window.

the purpose is to see how much data i can make TEXTAREA handle. apperantly i cant make php read/process(?) text bigger than 2.5 KB. Thats no bigger than one page of text .. this is for a web mail composer ... so it means i cant write a full page of mail because php cant handle data ?@??@?!!??!

can anyone help me out with this. is there a setting somewhere ? what might be the problem ?

thank you ...

if ($send)
{
echo "Your Mesagge:<br>$bebe";
break;
}

echo "<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">\n"; 

  	echo "Message<br>\n";   	
	echo "<textarea name='bebe' cols=40 rows=15'>\n"; 
echo "</textarea>\n"; 

	echo "<br><input type='submit' name='send' value=\"SEND\"></td></tr>\n"; 
	echo "</form>\n";

I suggest you (just for fun) place the $bebe variable between <textarea> and </textarea> That way you'll see the data you just submitted.

And no, I wouldn't expect PHP only to be able to handle a string at 2500 chars.

Perhaps you should take a close look at your php.ini?
