Is there a limit to the length of text?

Thanks for this useful rewrite of the PHP API. However, I now come across a problem. I have a text field in which you should write whole processes. Up to 150 words / 900 characters, it works fine. But then an incredibly long time passes, in which Filemaker does something, but after that time you see that he has nothing saved. How can I make it possible to write about 800 words in this field?

Hi,

XML engine is using "GET" queries to push data to FileMaker, this means all data are passed in the query string, but web servers usually have a limit for query string length :

  • IIS (Windows) : 2048
  • Apache (MacOs, Linux) : 8000
  • Nginx (Linux): 8K (9192)

You can exceed this limit by changing the underlaying web server's settings
