Hi guys,
I’m facing a problem with the length of strings right now.
There is a column in my database that may contain quite long strings. When I let gii generate the model, he set the [font="Courier New"]rules()[/font] to
array('VALUE', 'length', 'max'=>2500),
In the model I wrote a static function that is supposed to return the field’s value of a particular row:
public static function getValueString($id)
{
$report = CurrentController::model()->findall("something = '$id'");
foreach ($report AS $elem)
{
if($elem->NAME == 'foo') return = $elem->VALUE;
}
}
Now I’d like to have a look at this in a view:
array('label'=>'Description','type'=>'raw', 'value'=>CurrentController::getValueString($foo[$x]->NR)),
What I get is not the entire string, it’s just the beginning of it.
echo strlen(CurrentController::getValueString($foo[$x]->NR));
tells me it’s length is 255 chars.
First, I suspected PHP or my DB-Driver (FreeTDS -> MsSQL 2008), but writing a quick pure-PHP-test ensured they all were be fine and they were showing the correct ~600 chars string.
Does anyone know where the problem might be? Is it possible to tell yii, the column is not a max-255-chars-VARCHAR but more something like a TEXT?
Thanks for any help
