Insert/Update

[emm]

Hello everyone! I am using PHP. I need to save data from <textarea> to MSSQL. I want that user will copy and paste data from MS Excel. I used the form method=Post. My data type is text with length 7000

My problems are:

1) Not all data posted is saved.
2) When I try to edit the data through <textarea> then submit, data on the last row portion is lost. I can't trace why coz when I look in the database LongText is only I could see. I also tried viewing thru SQL Analyzer but only the first row of the data can be viewed.
3) I tried searching and met the sp_tableoption , textinrow and @ptr. I dont understand how to use it.

My codes for saving:
$insert="INSERT INTO Itb (itbNo, myLongText) VALUES ('$itbNo', '$myLongText')" ;
$result= mssql_query($in sert);

My codes for updating:
$update="UPDATE Itb SET myLongText='$my LongText' where itbNo = '$itbNo'";
$result = mssql_query($up date);

Anyone could please help? Thanks!

Check the structure of your table. What's the data type of column "myLongText "? Is it big enough to hold your entire text?

Hi! The data type of "myLongText " is text and its Length is 7000. Enough to hold the text, i guess.

I am also wondering why the data specifically on the last rows is lost. What I did was retrieve the data then save it. But when I retrieve again some data is lost.

Help on this pls.

Try to display the value of your $insert. Copy and paste it on Query Analyzer. Let's go from there.

Hi! Yes, I copied and paste it on Query Analyzer.. and the query is successful. I dont know where to go from there. :-) I am stuck.

Then it seems the problem happens when the data is being transmitted to sql-server, since your query is built properly, I'm not much of a PHP programmer, so I can figure out if your problem is in PHP or not.

Sorry, not much help.

Yehey! Guyz, I got the answer on my problem why some data rows are missing even my SQL is correct. In my php.ini, I changed the default to maximum. :-)

; Valid range 0 - 2147483647. Default = 4096.
mssql.textlimit = 2147483647

; Valid range 0 - 2147483647. Default = 4096.
mssql.textsize = 2147483647

Thanks everyone!
