Re: [PHP] maximum string length
It may be able to store 8MB, but each line can only hold 1024 characters. I ran into this using a string variable to store the message body of an HTML email. If I did not put a '\n' at the end of each line, I would get random '!' placed through the sent email. Steven J.

Maybe you know more about what Kancha is planning to do with this massive string, but the above criticism only applies to strings used to 'write' an email msg - and only to certain email servers/clients at that. It doesn't apply to strings within PHP, eg reading in the whole of some large text file and storing it in a string.
