Update not working for larger text input

Hi-

I'm running MAMP on my Mac with MySQL 5.0.19 as my local test server. My live server is with Media Temple running MySQL - 5.0.22.

On the site I'm developing, I have a text field which I load text into, let the user modify it, and post it back to the database. Very basic.

Everything works great on my local server. When I upload it, everything works fine with 300-400 words of text. When I try to put in larger amounts of text into the field (3,000+ words), it acts like it's updating but doesn't. The text in the database remains the same as though no update was performed.

I'm not sure if this is a server issue, a PHP issue, or a MyQSL issue. Any ideas why it works locally but not remotely?

Thanks!

Re : Update not working for larger text input

Ok, I figured out what was wrong. There was an invalid character in the text field – nothing to do with the text amount. Once I filtered it out before the update, everything ran smoothly.
