How to limit form field input?

[Tony Brinton]

I'm a beginning PHP programmer. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to
limit a user's input in a text field to 1000 characters?

Thanks,

Tony

After the user sends his textfield (whatever the length) you can cut
that into the first 1000 characters:
$limited = substr($_POST['textfield'], 0, 1000);


If you want to limit at the client side, there's always the unreliable
option of using JavaScript.

<input type="text" maxlength="1000 0">
