Well there are a number of things it could be cutting off when you send the
data to PHP

Firstly it could be cutting off the HTML tags, in this case use the function

$mytext = htmlSpecialChars($myvar1);

Secondly it could be cutting off text when you send it to a field in mysql,
this is probably because you have the field set to varchar(50) which will
only exept 50 characters, try using largeblob, or longtext, or just specify
150 as the total amount of chars the field will receive.

Hope that makes sense, good luck
