Hello, I'm trying to make a messageboard. The problem is that according to MySQL instructions the max. length for a column is 255 characters. Thats not much for a message. There must be a way to bypass this and I'm hoping that someone of you who know these things could give me a hint. (Or point out my misconception if I have understood something wrong). Thank You
TIP: read the mysql manual.
Only varchar fields are limited to 255. Try TEXT, that can hold something like 32kBytes.
I think you can solve this problem by asigning BLOB to the variable. Which can store large messages.
Yeah, try the LongText datatype..
