I'm currently developing a database in which my main page is populated by a news table. My problem is that i can seem to pull everything out of the table but the body of the news. I can get the topic the author name the date it was posted but just not the main content. I think its because i declared it as a varchar(255) and it just seems like its too big. Is there a special variable i need to store it in. The reason i want to store it in a variable is so i can put it anywhere i want on the page. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
