If you're using Apache, you can try setting LimitRequestBody to the
desired limit in bytes. For example: "LimitRequestBody 100000". This is
available in .htaccess as well as the global configuration. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody
You can also try setting PHP's post_max_size directive in apache if
php.ini is off-limits. For example: "php_value post_max_size 100000".
See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size
Another option is to use client-side browser validation. You can set
the maxlength attribute on a text field or use javascript to check the
length of a textarea before submitting. These limits could be bypassed
by a user determined to do so however. An example of client-side input
length checking:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Don't allow more than length chars
function checkTextareaLen(textarea, length)
{
if (textarea.value.length > length) {
textarea.value = textarea.value.substring(0, length)
}
}
//-->
</script>
<form method=post>
<input name=text1 maxlength=5> <!-- Browser should limit text1 to 5
chars -->
<textarea name=text2
onKeyDown="checkTextareaLen(this, 20)"
onKeyUp="checkTextareaLen(this, 20)"
onChange="checkTextareaLen(this, 20)"
></textarea>
<input type=submit>
</form>
See here for a more advanced script that allows you to set maxlength on
textarea elements: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/maxlength.html
