Hey - I've been trying to figure out how come this doesn't work for me. I have a insert field called MEMO and memos go longer then 255 characters, so I assigned the column type to "LONGTEXT" and now when I try to add a memo it gives me a SQL syntax error at line 1.

Previously the column type was "VARCHAR(255)" and the insert code worked fine w/the exception that it cut 75% of the memo_text field I have on my form.

Now I tried looking this up on the MySQL documentation, but no luck. I tried the $sql = $dbh->quote($string) option incase the memo field had escape strings.
-That didn't work.

I also tried changing the column type to BLOB instead of longtext - That didn't work.

Does anyone know what my problem might be?

Thanks,
Anthony
