I have encountered a strange problem when trying to enter information such as an Article (which includes the name of it, the date, the submitter, and the full main text of the article). I have used <input> boxes from a standard html <form> for the date, name and submitter, but for the main article, i have used a <textarea>.
When i try to insert a new article using my page (AddArticle), i encounter a problem with the amount of text that i am inserting. I have narrowed the problem down to the <form> in that i can successfully enter a set amount of text, and no more. Anymore than this amount of text, and the page fails to even load or navigate to the confirmation page.
I have checked to see if this is a size issue of the datatype in the MySQL database, and the size i am using is 'text' (216 bytes), so after increasing the datatype to 'longtext' (232 bytes), the problem is still persisting.
Can anyone help me with this problem
Thank you
