HTML -> PHP3

Hello,

i'm using a .html that sends some variables to a .php3. The data type is "textarea". Sometimes, when the data exceeds a number of characters (the limit is NOT constant) the .php3 does not receive the whole text. I cannot understand why is this happening. The maximum length for a textarea field is 32k, my text is MUCH less than this.
Does anybody know what's happening ?

Thanx in advance...

p.s. I'm using RedHat6.1, with php3, and the browser is MSIE 5.

Could you please post your form code so I could try helping you.

Here is the first file:

mailing_list_de.php3
====================
<?
mysql_connect("localhost","webuser","") or die("Database error");
mysql_select_db("rex");

$query="select doc_id,titlu from hybrid where limba='dt' and tip=210 order by data desc limit 3";
$result=mysql_db_query("rex",$query);
if ($result) {
while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$titlu=$r["titlu"];
$doc_id=$r["doc_id"];
$text="$titlu".$cr."http://www.mysite.ro/show_art_mail.php3?doc_id=".$doc_id.$cr.$cr;
}
}
this action is included in a loop, so the $text string has usually about 4 k.
?>

<form action="mailing_list_de_send.php3">
<p>Text: <textarea rows="14" name="S1" cols="82"><?print "$text"; ?></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send"></p>
</form>


mailing_list_de_send.php3
=========================
<?
mysql_connect("localhost","webuser","") or die("Database error");
mysql_select_db("rex");

print"$S1<br>";

$query="select email from mailing_list where limba='dt'";
$result = mysql_db_query("rex",$query);

if ($result) : {
while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$email=$r["email"];
mail($email,"News",$S1,'Errors-To: errors@mysite.ro');
print "ok<br>";
}
} endif;
?>

=================================
The text shown in the mailing_list_de_send.php3 file is not the whole text... I receive no errors, but the $S1 variable received in the 2nd file does not contain the whole data... :-(

1.<form action="mailing_list_de_send.php3" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

2.<form action="mailing_list_de_send.php3" method="post">

3.<form action="mailing_list_de_send.php3" enctype="multipart/form-data">

I can't access my development machine at the moment so I can only make guesses.. Try those and post the results here. <form> no 1 might work for you and I have no idea what those other 2 do :-)

I really did not know what to do..... but I've tried only the first alternative. I did not try the others, because IT WORKS !!!! YES !! Thank you VERY much.
