PHP and/or MySQL problems?

[seank123]

I'm running OsCommerce on a Redhat 9 machine with PHP 4.2.2 and have recently started having real problems updating information in the database.

When editing products I am losing information - the product descriptions (HTML) become corrupt and when trying to upload an image through the PHP scripts they become corrupted if over 12k - I can upload images to the server directly over the LAN or via FTP with no problems - I can also change the database entries with a Windows based program that accesses the database directly with no problems (unless I upload an image, in which case it uses a server side PHP script which results in images over 12k being corrupted!).

I don't think OsCommerce is at fault as I've not changed anything recently - I've even tried installing a completly fresh version with the same result.

Anyone have an idea why this would suddenly start happening after nearly 2 years of working fine??

Cheers

Could you be hitting some sort of size restriction? Just shooting in the dark here, but it sounds like you might be bumping heads with a database size restriction. Either that, or it might be a physical hardware issue, like a failing disk.

What happens when you do a dump of your data to an sql file? Does the data corrupt or does it dump ok?
