Description:

Then I try to read value of VARCHAR field I get only 255 characters, but
VARCHAR is 8000 bytes long.

PHP v. 4.3.2
Apache v. 2.0.43 / IIS 6
Reproduce code:
---------------
$myVar = str_repeat("*", 500);
mssql_query("DELETE FROM myTable");
mssql_query("INSERT INTO myTable (myField) VALUES ('".$myVar."')");
$query = "SELECT LEN(myField), myField FROM myTable";
list($realLength, $myVar) = mssql_fetch_row(mssql_query($query));
echo "DB length: ".$realLength."; PHP length: ".strlen($myVar);
