You may need to set mssql.textlimit to a value greater than the default of
4096 characters.

John,
I'm getting much more than 255 characters. The field is not varchar but a
text field. I've looked into FREETDS as the most likely source of the
problem but haven't found anything yet.

I'm having a problem with retrieving field data from SQL SERVER 2000 and

not sure where the problem lies. I have a variable length field (from
100 -
1 characters). When I retrieve the field using a select statement,
then
into a PHP variable such as $text=$r['body_text'], then the field seems
to
be truncated after a good bit of it has been returned (at least 1000
characters). I am using PHP 4.3.4 and FREETDS 0.62 on a Red Hat 9.0
system
to access SQL Server. The question is, is there a returned field size
maximum defaulting or defined in SQL Server, PHP, or FREETDS and/or has
anyone else had this problem?
Not sure where the problem is exactly (I think it's FREETDS), but you
can only use 255 characters in a variable character column. Newer
versions of FREETDS may solve this, otherwise change your column type.
