  textarea limit to 64KB any workaround

  HI all,
  I'm using ATutor on:
  
  - SERVER: IIS 6.0, Windows 2003, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.18-nt
  - CLIENT: Windows XP, IE 6.0
  
  I' have a problem with "textarea" limit.
  
  When I upload a file for inserting its content as new article, ATutor works fine and load the file in the "textarea" for edit it, but when I press "Save changes" button, the text is cutted approximately at 64KB.
  
  I tried many browsers, like IE 6.0, Mozilla 1.6, Firefox 0.8 and Opera 7.11, but the problem still occur.
  
  I read many newsgroups, in some threads I found that IE 5.0 or greater is without textarea limit, but I experienced that it is false.
  
  Hence, I'm unable to upload files grater than 64KB!!!
  
  Any solution or workaround?
  
  Thanks in advance, Andrea.

  RE: textarea limit to 64KB, any workaround?

  I found the solution, it isn't a browser limit but an ATutor limit.
  
  To solve the problem is necessary to change in the table "{prefix}_content", the column type of "text" column, from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT.
  
  Bye, Andrea.
